You need to describe _why_ you did this, not just what you did.  Why is
this needed?  What are you fixing by doing this?  Is this something that
older kernels need?  Is it something that others are seeing?

Same goes for patch 2/2 here, you have to provide a good changelog entry
in order for this to be accepted.

thanks,

greg k-h
