I'd re-submit with a better description of the patch. You should always
try to describe what your doing as accurately as possible so the
maintainer doesn't have to work very hard to know what your doing.. That
particular patch just has a one liner description that wasn't very
informative .. Either that or re-submit your series without that patch
if you don't have confidence in it.
