Hello Mohammad.
Thanks for the patch.
Here are some small comments:
Please run your patches through scripts/checkpatch.pl
before sending them.
This submission has an overly long commit message line.
Please limit line lengths to ~70 characters.
The "This is a patch to <foo> that fixes up " is not useful.
The "found by checkpatch.pl issue" is not particularly useful.
A simpler form might have used:
Subject: [PATCH] ad525x_dpot: Add a blank line after declaration
with a commit log of somthing like:
Use a more common kernel style.

Add a space between your name and the open angle bracket
in the email address too please.
Sometimes, it's good to do all the similar types of changes
at the same time instead of multiple patches for trivial
bits.
Using:
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --strict --types=line_spacing,braces --fix-inplace
drivers/misc/ad525x_dpot.c
produces this:
