So one patch does one type of logical change to all files in the driver and another patch does again something else. Also the commit logs are not correctly formatted, for example the title is too long. I recommend to start with something small, for example one small patch a time. And once you get more familiar with the process you can submit more, and bigger, patches at a time. Also code cleanup is not really the best way to start as it's a very subjective matter. Also try to get more familiar how development is done, here are few links: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches https://kernelnewbies.org/FirstKernelPatch Also mailing list archives and git logs are a great way to learn from how others do it. -- Kalle Valo
