I have some questions regarding the alignment here. According to the alignment requirements,
req_u should be aligned below the po variable. However, if it is aligned below po, the line
will become very long, which may affect readability. In this special case, can I align it to
prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo instead, or should I continue to align it to the po variable?

What should I do next?
Should I change the alignment, and resend PATCH with the reviewed information of version 10?

Thanks
