Hi Alaa,

Based on your 'CC to outreachy I can guess you are following out 'First
Patch Tutorial'. A patch for this step does not need to be sent out to
the maintainers and lists, since it's not something we actually want
to change in the Linux Kernel. 

Your next patch, a cleanup patch in drivers/staging/ does need to get
sent. I guess we'll see that soon!

Thanks & welcome to this round of Outreachy,
Alison
