Something (protonmail?) split some lines of your patch so that it
cannot be applied:
patch: **** malformed patch at line 24: tials:
See https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20260506054914.162806-1-drapl0n@protonmail.com/raw
You can see if Documentation/process/email-clients.rst can help you any,
or just do an web search for using Proton mail to send plain text patches,
but using Proton might be difficult (IDK).

The change itself looks good - if you can find a good way to email it.
