Thanks for your patch!
But obviously you forgot to run scripts/checkpatch.pl on your own patch:

WARNING: From:/Signed-off-by: email name mismatch: 'From:
hexingwei001@...suo.com' != 'Signed-off-by: Xingwei He

Whitespace-damaged, so it fails to apply.

These problems are present in all your patches, so something is\
wrong in your workflow.  Please test your patches by running
scripts/checkpatch.pl, emailing them to yourself, and trying to
apply them.

Thanks!

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
