You really need to improve upon the quality of the patches you are 
submitting, they are not passing checkpatch.pl for coding style and this 
is seriously concerning.

It sounds like these patches are sent out just to tick a box that an 
effort has been made to upstream them, that is not how upstream works, 
so please send some quality time on getting them in tip top shape. Thank 
you.
