probe returns a `Result<()>` type, which can be simplified as `Result`,
due to default type parameters being unit `()` and `Error` types. This
maintains a consistent usage of `Result` throughout codebase.

Miguel has already pointed out, this is probably not sufficient for a
signed-off-by: You need a real name here, in order to keep the lawyers happy.

Also, each subsystem has its own way of doing things. Please take a
read of:

Hi Andrew, I did clarify that "Manas" is my real name, (as in what the official
documents have). It is not a pseudonym. I am unsure if I am missing something
here.

I did take a look at the subsystem docs. I added target tree `net-next` and
added all prefixes. I thought `Fixes:` tag wouldn't be appropriate here.

I missed the Link: and Suggested by: tags as I was moving from v1. I will add
those.

Using your full name in your Signed-off-by clearly identifies the author.
I would recommend going that route.
