Tahera,

I'm seeing this from checkpatch:

WARNING: From:/Signed-off-by: email name mismatch: 'From: TaheraFahimi <fahimitahera@...il.com>' != 'Signed-off-by: Tahera Fahimi <fahimitahera@...il.com>'

Folks sometimes miss checkpatch reports if they only run checkpatch
on their head commit. Please run it on the formatted patch before
sending it.  

Please refer to checkpatch documentation, but if it's useful, here's
what I do:

While developing a patch do this:
$ git show HEAD | scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict --codespell

Confirm with this before sending a patch to a mailing list:
$ scripts/checkpatch.pl --no-tree --strict --codespell $1
($1 is the formatted patch and that location is usually out of tree
in my development environment.)
