Anything from "The explanation body" onwards is relevant here. A useful patch description would be a simple "Add support for instantiating the Delta DPS920AB PSU through I2C on systems without devicetree support". Everything else is irrelevant for the patch description and, if desired, should be after "---". Thanks, Guenter
