While the patch looks functionally correct, it is horribly broken in
its format. You sent a HTML mail instead of only plain text. Your
mailer turned the tabs into spaces. And the paths are missing from the
patch header.

Please learn how to send proper patches that kernel maintainers can
apply. Documentation/SubmittingPatches is a good start.
