Hi Tresca,

Welcome.  :)

1) This patch combines way too many things into one patch.  Only do
one logical thing per patch.

2) When you're writing the changelog write a one line summary at the
top, leave a blank line, and then write the changelog.  You didn't
have the summary so the Subject of the email was messed up.

3) No signed-off-by line.

These names are even worse than the original.

blank line goes here.
INT should be changed to "int"
No need to initialize iIndex.

But curly braces around multi-line indent blocks for style reasons
even though it's not needed for semantic reasons.

Anyway, this whole thing needs to be broken up into smaller logical
patches and resent.  Like maybe change fix add spaces around the
operators in one patch or something like that.  Fix one class of
checkpatch.pl warning at a time.

Don't worry that your first patch was not accepted.  Everyone's first
patch gets rejected.  :P
