Please read the kernel documentation for how to write better subject
lines and changelog texts.  These need a lot of work, you can't just put
the checkpatch message in the subject and then nothing in the changelog
body.

No, think about what you are changing here.  Why keep the "b" at all?
What does this variable name?  Why was there a "b" to start with?

What about all of these other variables, why ignore them and not send a
patch series to fix them all up?

Remember where the "b" comes from, this is "hungarian notation" and is
trying to describe the type of the variable, which makes no sense in
this century.  Please do not keep it around for no reason at all.

thanks,

Mr. Greg,

first of all, thank you for your time and review. I am learning a lot
from your responses since I started contributing, after I came across
a YouTube video of one of your presentations on how to contribute to
the Linux kernel. I will study the documentation more in depth and
send a proper patch series as you requested.

Best regards,

Leonardo Araujo

Atenciosamente,

Eng. M.Sc. Leonardo A. de Araujo
