Sorry, why are you posting more patches? You were told to stop
yesterday. And you received an email which said:

Here are a few ground rules which are frequently broken by newcomers:

- You must wait at least 24 hours before posting a new version to give
reviewers time to respond. This is a hard rule, no matter what your
reason to repost is.

- Each new version of your series should be a fresh / separate thread
Add a https://lore.kernel.org/.. link to the previous version to
the cover letter or changelog, instead of threading the submissions.

- Until you gain experience submit one of two patches at a time,
do not send multiple changes at once until some of your changes
were accepted. This avoids reviewers having to provide the same
feedback on multiple patches.

- Avoid changing the subject of the changes or cover letter unless
necessary, it breaks our patch tracking.

- If you're submitting changes for issues discovered using automated
tools - commit message should explain the discovery and testing
process (for drivers explicitly mention that you don't have access
to the device, it's not a blocker).


You broke at least 2 of these already.

If you keep ignoring direct maintainer feedback you will be banned.
