Hi Bhaskar,

First problem is that patch complains:

checking file scripts/prune-kernel
Using Plan A...
patch: **** malformed patch at line 87: 2.21.0

IOW, this patch does not apply cleanly.

More comments below.

Typos:
	               $kernel_version                                   $kernel_version

I.e., you can't have tested this.

If I enter nothing here, no need to call remove_old_kernel.

If I enter nothing here, don't call remove_old_kernel_modules_dir.

       typo:                                                associated

Why is the "do" line missing a '+'?  The only do/done in the current script
are already listed above as being commented out.

Just exit, no printf needed.

Same comment for "done" as for "do" above.

Okay, terminate it there, because allowing defeat the purpose 
of the script.

It will not reach here, because we have terminated it above.
