Hi Nasir.

Welcome to linux-kernel developing.

It's generally pretty unnecessary to resubmit a variant of
a patch that someone else has already submitted.

Especially one like this that does less than the original.

It's also considered good form to cc the original patch
submitter.

If you want to get your 2nd patch in, that's great, but
please consider doing work that isn't just checkpatch
cleanups and isn't duplicative of work where you were cc'd.

Is this done against -next or some other -staging tree?

It's generally nicer to align arguments to the open parenthesis.

Please look for and fix spelling typos when submitting changes.

Please use %s: and __func__ when a function name is embedded
into a message string.

Please make sure messages are newline "\n" terminated.
It helps to avoid possible output interleaving.
