Please add a space after the period that ends each sentence.
Capitalize "MSI" to match usage in spec.

I didn't see a response from Nirmal on the mailing list with the
Reviewed-by.  I think it's better if Nirmal responds to the patch
directly on the mailing list with the Reviewed-by, and whoever applies
the patch can incorporate it.  Otherwise we have no visibility into
any interaction between you and Nirmal.

It looks like your code matches either "on" or "off", not "1" or "2".

Looks like this should be static?  And using "NULL" (as opposed to
something like the empty string "") suggests some intrinsic meaning of
"NULL", but I think there is no intrinsic meaning and the only point
is that "NULL" doesn't match either "on" or "off".
