Please use subject prefixes matching the subsystem. You can get them for
example with `git log --oneline -- DIRECTORY_OR_FILE` on the directory
your patch is touching. For bindings, the preferred subjects are
explained here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.html#i-for-patch-submitters

Subject/commit msg: drop MFD and explain what the hardware is. MFD is
Linuxism.

Drop description,

I don't think this was tested at all. It is heavily incomplete,
considering this is sort of MFD device.

Or you split patches in odd way. Look how other PMIC-style things are
upstreamed.

Node names should be generic. See also an explanation and list of
examples (not exhaustive) in DT specification:
