Sorry, why are you posting more patches? You were told to stop
yesterday. And you received an email which said:

Here are a few ground rules which are frequently broken by newcomers:

 - You must wait at least 24 hours before posting a new version to give
   reviewers time to respond. This is a hard rule, no matter what your
   reason to repost is.

 - Each new version of your series should be a fresh / separate thread
   Add a https://lore.kernel.org/.. link to the previous version to
   the cover letter or changelog, instead of threading the submissions.

 - Until you gain experience submit one of two patches at a time,
   do not send multiple changes at once until some of your changes
   were accepted. This avoids reviewers having to provide the same
   feedback on multiple patches.

 - Avoid changing the subject of the changes or cover letter unless
   necessary, it breaks our patch tracking.

 - If you're submitting changes for issues discovered using automated
   tools - commit message should explain the discovery and testing
   process (for drivers explicitly mention that you don't have access
   to the device, it's not a blocker).


You broke at least 2 of these already.

If you keep ignoring direct maintainer feedback you will be banned.
