Unfortunately, this patch is badly white-space mangled. I tried fixing
it up but eventually had to give up and move on.
Please fix up your email client so that this doesn't happen; see
Documentation/process/email-clients.rst for some helpful suggestions
to that end. Once you can email the patch to yourself and apply the
result successfully, please resubmit it.
Thanks,
jon
