Wanna add that check too?

How so?

This is with your first patch:

$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl /tmp/bit.01
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 7 lines checked

/tmp/bit.01 has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission.

Also, in your commit messages you refer to patches with patchwork links
- please use the respective upstream commit IDs instead. Grep for
"Fixes:" here:

Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst

for more info.

Thx.
