Re: [PATCH] This commit fixes the error generated due to the wrong indentation which does not follow the codding style norms set by Linux-kernel and space- bar is used in place of tab to give space which causes a visual error for some compilers

Hi, Aviral!

Always check your patches with ./scripts/checpatch.pl. It will warn You
if your patch has common errors (ex: too long subject line like yours). 

I think, this link might be helpful
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html.
This document contains canonical patch format and other useful
info about "how to send patches".

Goog luck!
