I don't think this is right.  While reserving judgment on
"preliminarily" as a word, the intended use is adverbial, so this change
does not make things better.  The better fix, perhaps, is to say
"previously" instead.

Should you choose to resubmit this, we'll need your real name in the
Signed-off-by tag, please.

Thanks,

Hi Jon,

Good day.
Thanks for the suggestion, will correct and send the patch again.
And my real name is "HariKrishna" and see that it is mentioned in Signed-off-by tag.
Do I need to add surname as well ? Please let me know.

Thank you.
HariKrishna.
