Please use standard email subjects, so with the PATCH keyword in the
title. `git format-patch -vX` helps here to create proper versioned
patches. Another useful tool is b4. Skipping the PATCH keyword makes
filtering of emails more difficult thus making the review process less
convenient.

You described the desired Linux feature or behavior, not the actual
hardware. The bindings are about the latter, so instead you need to
rephrase the property and its description to match actual hardware
capabilities/features/configuration etc.
