Odd characters at your line-end here :(

No need for the "Hi" and "regards" in a changelog text :)
Most importantly, why is this being submitted for the staging directory?
What is keeping it from being added to the "real" part of the kernel
now?
If you need/want it in drivers/staging/ then you need a TODO file that
lists what needs to be done to it in order to get out of
drivers/staging/

Patch is totally corrupted and could not be applied even if I wanted to
:(
Can you just use 'git send-email' to send patches out? web clients do
not work at all (as you saw with your first attempt in html format...)
