Do you really want the "v2" to be part of the patch title in the git repos? I
expect not, thus you should put it inside the []. All that stuff is stripped off
when the patch is merged.
Similarly, do you want the v2 line in the patch description to be part of the
permanent record? If not, move it below the --- line.
You are also missing a Signed-off-by: line. Have you read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches? At least you should run every patch through
scripts/checkpatch.pl before submitting it.
Finally, why do you want to add another Kconfig variable? I suggest either
deleting the logging statement, or commenting it out. I'm not sure that this
info would ever need logging.
I NACK this patch.
Larry
