I don't follow what this sentence means.  Normally you'd have

Details are .. Also no need for the ine break

From patch description, I'd assume there is only one of these
per sccl so why do we care about the cluster level or the sub-id?
Perhaps that description is missleading?

If you can reference more info on this that would be great.
Perhaps a thread talking about why?
