Hi Veera,

Thanks, this mostly looks good, in general. A few notes:

- the commit title is typically in an imperative form, that is, for
  example, "[...]: Fix long line in Makefile variable"

Also,

It would be nice to also mention if you used a tool to find this.

...and while this fixes the long lines for sure, a more common way is
to use backslashes at the end of the lines. Compare it with other
similar cases: you don't need to do something like:
	drivers/staging/wfx/Makefile

but what's done for example in:
	drivers/staging/comedi/Makefile

looks appropriate here (using 3 or 4 lines I guess).

If you send another version of this patch, don't forget to indicate
that under "---", see recent discussions on the outreachy-kernel list
for examples.

Yes. I knew it. But thought preserving maintainer style may be right.

As a general rule, absolutely, but I wonder if we can even define a
"style" here at all. It's also the single occurrence of this, in this
file, and for this driver altogether.
