Hi,

It looks like your commit message body went in the subject of your patch. Please
resend with this fixed. Perhaps send it to yourself first before the mailing
list, to make sure the formatting is correct.

Please put the bug ID in capital: [YOCTO #15746], as shown in the
contributor guide.

Please include that this is a v2 of the patch: read
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/submit-changes.html#taking-patch-review-into-account.
So next will be v3.

:term:`BB_CMDLINE` with backticks here, not :term:'BB_CMDLINE'. We compile
documentation with Sphinx and this is how Sphinx understands that this is a
cross-reference.

Also missing a space: "read-only.It" -> "read-only. It"

Please remove spurious whitespaces here.
