Maybe my bad, I should have sent you a note on your previous series
already. The patches may be fine, but the commit messages need to do
a better job of describing what the goal of the change is, functionally.

For fixes the bar is even higher because, as Vladimir points out,
commit messages for fixes need to explain what user visible problem 
the patch is resolving. Think of it as a letter to a person using the
switch who hits a problem and wants to look thru the upstream commits
to see if it's already fixed.
