One of them can be ignored (adding a new file by a developer who is not in

However, the rest can be improved. I have never seen any case with multiple 
spaces between any tag and name. It's better to modify them to follow 
undocumented convention in Linux kernel development.

It's a tab, but I'll fix it.

Aha, I overlooked it.

Anyway, in next time, please send a cover letter together to aggregate each of your patch. It helps me to ask maintainers to add one 'Reviewed-by' tag from me.


Thanks
