Hi dan

it's just a cleanup patch and i also tested all patches of this patch
series on the hardware (TP-LINK TL-WN723N).
my mistake i should have added "Tested-by" tag for all patches.

Tested-by: navin patidar <navin.patidar@xxxxxxxxx>

No no. It's not necesary to add a tested by to everything. It was just
something I was curious about. The patches looked ok. If you hadn't
tested them I would review them a second time more carefully.

To me, the opposite case is true. If you have not tested, then you need to explicitly state "compile tested only" in the commit message. Without saying that, your signed-off-by is implying that you have tested, as well as declaring that you own the copyright to the material.
