Your subject line needs adjusting. After the [PATCH ...], there should be a properly subsystem prefix followed by a colon character, which in this case could be "natsemi: " Then, your subject line should be succinct and contain all of the context necessary to understand exactly what the bug is about. This means that the bug ID number doesn't belong there. It's completely ambiguous as to what bug repository that ID is for, and such information belongs in the commit message body. So when you mention bug IDs in the commit message body, say where it's from. If it's the main kernel bugzilla, say so. Thanks.
