Re: [PATCH 1/3] drivers:Fixed C99 comment issue.

Ok, now I'm going to get picky, so you can get this right and I will
have no excuse to reject your patches :)

First off, your subject: is "odd". You need to specify what you did
better, with a prefix that says so.

So, for this example, it should say:
Subject: [PATCH 1/3] USB: storage: fixed c99 comment issue

See the "USB: storage:" part? Having a generic "drivers:" like you did
really doesn't say anything, as over half of the kernel is drivers, and
you really didn't do this for all of that codebase :)

You need an extra line before the Signed-off-by: line above.

Care to make these changes to all three of your patches and resend them?

thanks,
