More comments (probably duplicates):

a. The "checkpatch:" in the subject says that you are making a patch
to the "checkpatch" script. You are not doing that. The subject should
be more like: "staging: most: fix a style issue in sound.c" e.g.

b. This comment:
This is my first patch.

should not be in the comment message. If included at all, it should be
after the "---" line, like so:

---
This is my first patch.

<then the diffstat>.


thanks.
