No need to say _why_ you are sending kernel patches, I don't care :)

And this is a great way to get familiar with the process, it's why there
are so many things in the drivers/staging/ tree to fix up.  If we really
wanted to get the code "correct", I would just take a few days and fix
it all up myself, but that's not the goal here.

Keep it up, you are doing just fine.
