Please send the both the patch and the actual checkpatch output
you get when running 'perl ./scripts/checkpatch.pl <patch>'

If this patch is a commit in your own local git tree:

$ git format-patch -1 --stdout <commit_id> > tmp
$ perl ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict tmp

and send tmp and the checkpatch output.
