You do know about S_IRUGO, right? Why not use that?

Same goes for your other replacements, use the correct #define, not a
mix of values | together.

And you are sending hundreds of patches with the same identical subject
line, that's not ok, you need to make it unique for every patch.
Usually that is done with the subsystem and driver name, see examples of
this in the kernel changelogs.

Please fix up and try again, in a much smaller series, before trying to
do this across the whole kernel tree.

good luck!
