It looks better, but could you please tweak a few more things?

The subject line has the word "clock" at the end by mistake.

This line is getting a bit too long for the terminal. Please line up
the text, like this:

" -k val measure the time offset between phc and system clock\n"
" for 'val' times (Maximum 25)\n"

Also, when you resubmit the patch, add "net-next" and a patch version,
like this: [PATCH net-next v3].

Thanks,
Richard
