After I run ./scritps/checkpatch.pl on the patch produced by git
format-patch it has trailing whitespaces . So I was using
./scripts/cleanfile to fix that , I am not doing that anymore and am
also not getting the corrupt patch error .

I have done this and am still getting these errors:

error: patch failed:
drivers/staging/vc04_services/bcm2835-audio/bcm2835-      ctl.c:105

error: drivers/staging/vc04_services/bcm2835-audio/bcm2835-ctl.c:
patch does not apply


Why is it not applying ?
