Actually, commit messages and subject lines should be written in the
imperative.  So you should say eg

Remove unnecessary blank line

instead of

Removes unnecessary blank line

I would argue that checkpatch is wrong here, it's very common to have
an empty line between the global and the local header files.

I forwarded this to Joe Perches, and he pointed out that checkpatch
doesn't give a warning for this.  Namrata, what version of the kernel are
you using?

You should be using what you get by doing the following command:

git clone -b staging-testing git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git

Maybe this is what you already have?

I followed the tutorial : https://kernelnewbies.org/Outreachyfirstpatch

So I think what I have is the same as the one your suggesting.Perhaps,I'll
try running the command you suggested to be completely sure.

Thanks,
Namrata
