Hi Himanshu,

I think I'll do some double check on it to make sure it's good, compare
my patch with other drivers to see some more problems I miss.
Thanks for your kindness, and with or without this patch accepted, I've
been feeling glad to get connected with the community and learned a lot
from people like you. :)

yours,
Song Qiang
