Include the commit description too, so people have a clue what that
commit is.

Presumably this fix can go through the core ARM tree independently from
this series? Or, will this series cause problems if applied without this
patch being applied first?

BTW, I don't see anything in this series that adds the mandatory
properties to DT for all this to work. I assume if I just apply this
series, everything will blow up? If so, it's usual to say "[PATCH RFC"
rather than "[PATCH" in the email subject.
