Hi Meena,

I can't speaking about the code (as I'm not subject-expert here), but I
would like to give you suggestions:

  - When sending backported patch series, always prefix the subject with
    "[PATCH x.y]", where x.y is the stable version the backport is made
    against.
  - Abbreviated commit hash should be at least 12 (or my favorite, 14) characters long.
  - Commit identifier should be in format "%h (\"%s\")".
  - As always, DON'T DO top-posting, DO interleaved reply and reply
    below the quoted original message.

Trond and Dexter, any comments or ACKs?

Thanks.
