These huge function comments are not normal kernel coding style anyway,
why not fix them up to use the correct style, don't paper over it and
keep this mess around any longer than it needs to be.

Why is this on a different line??

The "u32" is indented more than the "none".  "bit bit" is probably a
typo?

There is a proper kernel-doc style that function comments are supposed
to use.  https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/doc-guide/kernel-doc.html

Hi,

This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.  You have sent him
a patch that has triggered this response.  He used to manually respond
to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept
writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was
created.  Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem
in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux
kernel tree.

You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s)
as indicated below:

- It looks like you did not use your "real" name for the patch on either
  the Signed-off-by: line, or the From: line (both of which have to
  match).  Please read the kernel file, Documentation/SubmittingPatches
  for how to do this correctly.

If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about
how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and
Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received
from other developers.

thanks,

greg k-h's patch email bot

ok anyway

Those both lines(from, signed-off-by) are exactly same, what's problem
with them?

I don't see the context here...

Anyway, if you do sign documents with just "karthek" (lowercase and
all), that's fine, but I do have to ask, right?

Ok, that's good to know, however I have an application here from you
