Hi Md. Islam,

People will start to ignore you, when you don't interact appropriately
with the community, and you ignore their advice, especially when it is
about how to interact with the community[1].

You have not addressed any of my feedback on your patch in [1].

p.s. also top-posting is bad, but I suspect you will not read my
response if I don't top-post.

First of order of business: You need to conform to the kernels coding
standards!

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.18/process/coding-style.html

There is a script avail to check this called: scripts/checkpatch.pl
It summary says:
 total: 139 errors, 238 warnings, 6 checks, 372 lines checked
(Not good, more error+warnings than lines...)

Please fix up those... else people will not even read you code!
