Please don't start the boddy of the email in the middle of a sentence.

It looks like this:

https://marc.info/?l=linux-driver-devel&m=151733925532413&w=2

Notice how the subject is up above the From, Date, and Message-id email
headers? It's totally disconnected from the body of the email.

I do feel that patch descriptions should say what the patch does as well
as why. Right now the subject says what but I normally read either the
body or the subject but not both.

The 'this is in...' was implied. I'll try to be less of a sloppy bastard.

I fleshed out the individual commit messages and rolled a new
patchset, which adds the warning at the end:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/1/31/137

I wonder why that one doesn't display with proper threading on LKML.
It does show the entire thread once you click on one of the later
messages.

Cheers,
Ulf
