Your email client mangled this patch, it cannot be applied. Please read
https://docs.kernel.org/process/email-clients.html
for some information on clients and git send-email or consider using
https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/contributor/overview.html
to use 'b4 prep' and 'b4 send' to properly handle some of that in a more
user-friendly manner. An example of that workflow (use the kbuild tree
as the base though: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kbuild/linux.git/):
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/2093#issuecomment-2932754317
Additionally, you need to signoff your patch with a proper name, as
neither Im7CK or Mebecool1 are a "known identity" per
https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html#sign-your-work-the-developer-s-certificate-of-origin

Cheers,
Nathan
