Vasanth -- your changes to fix the spacing look OK to me.  However,
the Subject of the patch email is a bit unexpected, as the code
under drivers/hv is not a "Staging" driver.   "Staging" drivers are
drivers under the pathname drivers/staging that have not been
fully accepted into the Linux kernel.

Changes to the code in the "hv" directory usually have a "Subject" line
that is prefixed with "Drivers: hv:" or "Drivers: hv: vmbus: ".   For this
code, you can see the history of changes and the Subject lines at this URL:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/drivers/hv

Also, your submission does not have a commit message.  While the
Subject captures the details of your change, the expectation is that
patches should also have a commit message, though in this case they
might be very similar.  I would suggest shortening the Subject, and
then providing just a little bit more detail in the commit message.
