Hi,

Thanks for updating the commit message and log.

I think you need to do something about the Signed-off-by or this
will not be accepted.  You can read more about the developer's
certificate of origin in here.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html

Not sure your particular case, but maybe -

If you are submitting this on behalf of Gushengxian, then you need
to add your Signed-off-by after the current one:
ie. Signed-off-by: Your Full Name <13145886936@163.com>

Or, if this is your work, then you may need to update your
.gitconfig file, like this:

[user]
	name = Your Full Name
	email = email@example.com

The From line of the email needs to match a Signed-off-by.

Each time you repost a patch please increment the version number.
The next posting would be [PATCH v3]
