I can not take any kernel changes outside of drivers/staging/ for outreachy applications, sorry.

Also, you need to use your "full" name for the author info and signed-off-by.

thanks,

Try to use the imperative in the subject line and the log message. Your subject line is actually confusing, since "is added" means that this is something that waas done in the past, so it is not clear what you are planning to do here. You can use git log to look at subject lines and commit logs that others have written.

You should also lok at what others have done in the subject line for indicating the location of the changes. This is something where every subsystem has its conventions, so you can't just guess something by yourself. Buf if you do git log --oneline and the name of the files, you will see that none of the existing patches on this file have constructed the subject line in the way you have done.

Thank you. I will follow your suggestions and make sure that I will not repeat them.
