You seem to have ignored all the automated messages telling you to slow
down. And we do not accept checkpatch fixes, please see below.

Please do not send any more patches to networking for a month.


Quoting documentation:

Clean-up patches
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Netdev discourages patches which perform simple clean-ups, which are not in
the context of other work. For example:

* Addressing ``checkpatch.pl``, and other trivial coding style warnings
* Addressing :ref:`Local variable ordering<rcs>` issues
* Conversions to device-managed APIs (``devm_`` helpers)

This is because it is felt that the churn that such changes produce comes
at a greater cost than the value of such clean-ups.

Conversely, spelling and grammar fixes are not discouraged.
