You do not need this From: line here. The email From: header is
sufficient.

You are doing too many things in one patch. Please break them up into
separate patches. Each patch should do only one type of change.

Well that's a horrid fix for this, as you aren't doing anything
different here.

Fix the tool if it is reporting things incorrectly, don't blindly change
code for no reason please.  checkpatch isn't always correct, as you have
