Hello Mohana.

What changed in the v2?

When you send a new revision of a patch, it's good form to describe
the differences between the patches below the --- line

V2: Improved patch description

Also, the form of the code could be rewritten using //
comments while aligning all the options, even those
commented out currently with /* ... */

Something like:
