I was exploring the source code and noticed a few discrepancies in the
coding style and followed to run `scripts/checkpatch.pl`.

I was not aware of that. I apologise in case my actions caused any
undue inconveniences, that was never my intention.

Yes, my legal name doesn't have a last name. I could change my From:
or Signed-off-by: lines to have "Anshul A" or add my informal last name
if that aligns better with kernel standards.

I appreciate your feedback and apologise for any problems caused,
