You've written this on top of the other patch which we're not going
to apply so it's not going to work.

If we could have applied the patch then I wouldn't comment here.  But
since you're going to have to redo it anyway...  I would probably have
kept these on separate lines.

		if ((i == 0x00000114) ||
		    (i == 0x00000118) ||
		    (i == 0x0000013c) ||
	            (i == 0x00000140) ||
		    (i > 0x00000150 && i < 0x000001fc) ||
		    (i > 0x00000278 && i < 0x000002a0) ||

I like that you are looking around and making changes, like this but to
me it seems more readable if 0x114 0x118 etc are all in the same
column.

This change wasn't described in the commit message.  This change is a
borderline situation on the one thing per patch rule.  We would
probably allow it under certain circumstances if it were described
correctly in the commit message.  But with Outreachy we're crazy strict
about stuff like this.  Just send it as a separate patch.

So now this is a v2 patch situation.  Outreachy has their own docs.  But
I have a blog about this which is super short.
