Greg K-H's "friendly patch bot" has already been triggered and sent you a
message. Usually, according to Greg's style :), this is all you get and then
you are left alone to figure out what you did wrong and eventually submit a
new version.

However, as this is your very first patch, I would like to give you some
additional information that may help you.

1) Where is the name of the driver your fixing? You must place it in the
subject and its position and formatting must comply with this subsystem
rules. Please, read other patches for staging among those that have already
been accepted.

2) What language are you using in the subject? "Remove uneccessary
parantheas" has no meaning in English. Typos can happen, but you have not
made any typos: your "Subject line" is a completely incomprehensible sequence
of characters. :)

3) "Fix to be conform[]" (sigh). Fix what? Changelogs (or "Commits messages")
must be self-contained, so write them like if you expected that the Reviewers
immediately forget what they read in the "Subject" line. While you are at it,
please also correct grammar.

(Finally, it is the Linux kernel maintainers and developers who have "style
requirements", listed in the "Linux kernel coding style" document, instead
checkpatch.pl has no requirements (it just checks for style violations)).

Thanks,

Fabio
