The patch description needs to describe _why_ the change is required or 
makes sense.

Have a look at:

Why do you need to put the "dst" to the next line?

Did checkpatch tell you to do so?

Did checkpatch tell you to do so? Checkpatch is not always right. I see 
what you want to do but I cannot say that this is really improving 
readability.

Always consider that I am not the maintainer. Those are just my opinions.

I can apply and compile your patch. Connection works.

I am sure you need a v2 of this patch with an updated description. 
Please do include a change history.

Bye Philipp
