I'm refering to this specifically:

static int function(int parameter1, struct another_structure *blah,
int parameter2, unsigned int parameter3);
^

It is just a comestic issue, but we consistently align function
parameters to the initial parens.

As I said, I have just manually fixed this here, so no problem, just
keep this in mind for the next time.

Another observation: You should bump patch version numbering in each
revision and keep some history on its evolution.

The area after the patch separator --- and before diff stats is good
to place volatile information that is only meaningful to the review
process, I mean something like this:

subsystem: Patch title.

Patch description...

Signed-off-by: Lucas Skywalker <trotacielos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
---
v3: Address comments from Chebakia on possible backward compatibility
issues.
v2: New parameter to control something.
v1: Initial patch.

Thanks.
