Hi Neha,

You should ideally submit patches for drivers/staging/ as a newbie and
not other drivers.

Other than that,
Your subject is too long and you haven't written a commit message,

A better way to write the subject would be `atm: Fix spelling of endianness `

The commit message can contain the other details like this:
This patch fixes the spelling of 'endianness'. Problem found by
checkpatch.pl tool
<Insert checkpatch.pl warning here>

Also your From should contain your full legal name like your Signed
Off instead of rneha725.
Same comments for patch 2/2.
