Uppercase 'DT'. 
No need for the comma after 'property'.
No real need to reference to the documentation.
No need to add personal thanks to a commit message.
No need to mention the patch's intended route in the commit message.

How about something more like:

Subject: ab8500: Remove initial "UNKNOWN" battery-type string assignment

DT property 'stericsson,battery-type' should always be present in the
Device Tree when describing battery hardware. Thus, instead of
pointlessly assigning "UNKNOWN" as a valid battery-type, we should
actually fail initialisation entirely if the property is missing.
