Writing --- directly into your patch description is usually a pretty bad
idea. Git am cuts off everything that comes after --- so your patch
description ends here without manual intervention ;).

Version history however should go after a --- line, so that it doesn't
show up in the patch description in the tree.

This is missing

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, hip04_mac_match);

to enable automatic module loading, no?
