Hi Shreeya,

We don't usually add a period to the subject line for kernel patches. (reason: we only have about
52 characters for the commit brief description so best not to waste any).

You may like to read Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst (specifically
section 2) for tips on writing your git log.

        Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz"
        instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy
        to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change
        its behaviour.

Good luck,
Tobin.
