How is this answer here? You asked "What do you mean", so apparently you
did not understand why I am responding and why you cannot just document
whatever you wish, because that "whatever you wish" is not correct. I
explained that but now you respond that I should read other part of
emails. Really?

So again, do you understand that commit msg should provide rationale why
you think this describes hardware and why this is suitable for bindings?


Best regards,
Krzysztof
