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

Thanks!

      https://git.kernel.org/kbuild/c/322b0463f30b0

I adjusted "when" to "the" in the comment to make it flow a little
better.

Please look out for regression or issue reports or other follow up
comments, as they may result in the patch/series getting dropped or
reverted. Patches applied to an "unstable" branch are accepted pending
wider testing in -next and any post-commit review; they will generally
be moved to the main branch in a week if no issues are found.

Best regards,
