In addition to Thomas's review feedback I'd strongly urge the careful reading of
Documentation/SubmittingPatches as well:

- When sending multiple patches please use git-send-mail

- Please don't send several patch iterations per day!

- Code quality of the submitted patches is atrocious, please run them through
scripts/checkpatch.pl (and make sure they pass) to at least enable the reading
of them.

- ... plus dozens of other details described in Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

Thanks,

Ingo
