Tahera,

I'm seeing this from checkpatch:

WARNING: From:/Signed-off-by: email name mismatch: 'From: TaheraFahimi <fahimitahera@gmail.com>' != 'Signed-off-by: Tahera Fahimi <fahimitahera@gmail.com>'

Folks sometimes miss checkpatch reports if they only run checkpatch
on their head commit. Please run it on the formatted patch before
sending it.  

Please refer to checkpatch documentation, but if it's useful, here's
what I do:

While developing a patch do this:
$ git show HEAD | scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict --codespell

Confirm with this before sending a patch to a mailing list:
$ scripts/checkpatch.pl --no-tree --strict --codespell $1
($1 is the formatted patch and that location is usually out of tree
in my development environment.)

Hello Alison, 
Thanks for the heads up. I resolved the mismatches.

Tahera,

Once a thread has begun, we always group reply.

Never drop folks or mailing lists from a thread. Sometimes we have to add
someone or a list to a thread in progress, but we never drop.

It's not aligned either before or after.  It should have been:

[tab][tab][tab][tab][tab][space][space][space][space][space][space]TTY_DRIVER_...

"TTY_DRIVER_REAL_RAW | TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV" goes together.  Don't
split that up over two lines.  Checkpatch is a tool which is supposed to
help readability.  It's not a ruler which must be obeyed.  If checkpatch
tells you to do something which makes the code less readable then just
ignore it.
