It looks like your patch is making three types of changes. A single
patch should make a single type of change.  For example, you might fix
all the "blank line after declaration" warnings in one patch.

Doing this helps make your patches easier to review, and if a problem
arises later, easier to bisect.

It also looks like you only sent this to the linux-kernel mailing list.
You should use scripts/get_maintainer.pl to find who to send it to.

Hope that helps :-)
