Thanks for submitting the patch. I'm not a maintainer, but there's a
typo in the mail subject.

This driver is called "sm750fb", not "sm759fb". A misspelled name would
make it difficult for other developers to grep the git log. I suggest you
to correct this typo and resend the patch.

If you are using git, to accomplish this, you could run

    $ git rebase -i [ID OF YOUR COMMIT]~1   # "~1" means one commit before

You would see something like,

    pick xxxxxx: staging: sm759fb: fix camelcase check issue

Change "pick" to "reword", save and exit the editor, and you would be able
to edit your commit message. After fixing it, run

    $ git send-email -v2  #  and so on

To send a new version of the patch, don't forget to include the original
receivers.

If you are not using git, simply fix the mail subject, the new subject should
be:

    [PATCH v2] staging: sm759fb: fix camelcase check issue.

and send it to the original receivers.

The above is a typically convention used by kernel developers when submitting
a patch. I hope it helps.

Cheers,
Tom Li
