I see 3 essentials wrong from 10sec review:
1) You don't cc people who commented your previous versions
2) You don't respect 72cols for patch description text (checkpatch did
   warn you, didn't it?)
3) You are defining very odd macros like these 3

No need to read any longer... Really, can't you please ask someone who
knows to help you with the submission preparation? You are vasting
time of people :/
