Dear Mike,
Glad to get your reply.I am sorry for late reply because i am on business trip today.I will tell more detail about the issue i met later.
And because i have no experience how to send a kernel patch correctly,so it may takes some time for me to learn that before i resend the patch.

Best regards

Thank you for the information and the patch.

As previously stated by Michal, please add some additional information to the
change log (commit message) and fix the formatting of the patch.

Can you tell us more about the root cause of your issue?  What was the issue?
How could you reproduce it?  How did you solve it?
