You see, the commit message can be divided to three sections
1. Title / very short description
2. Detailed description
3. Tag block
Each of them has some specific rules:
1. One quite short line prefixed by subsystem / driver in the
specified format (usually gathered by reading git log against the
module in question)
2. Should explain why this change is done
3. Should be one tag -- one line, no blank lines in between.
Hope, you will use this in the future.
After addressing that (perhaps Jonathan will do it for you)
