Please run scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict on the patch and fix the reported
issues.

As I mentioned previously, https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html
is a good reference for the expected format of the patch. Specifically:

"Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz" instead
of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy to do frotz",
as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change its behaviour."

The same also applies to the subject line.

Thanks,
Easwar (he/him)

P.S: It's good etiquette to explicitly CC folks who have provided comments
on the subsequent versions
