First of all, your line wrapping is off, please start a new line after around 70 characters as you do in an email. Also, we don't normally have enumerated lists in a changelog, just use normal text. The best changelogs typically have three paragraphs: The first paragraph describes what the driver currently does. For really obvious cases, this can be combined with the second paragraph. The second paragraph explains why that is bad. This is where you can mention the monotonic time vs real time issue and say whether we just want the timeval removed to fix the kernel in general or whether this particular driver is broken. The third paragraph explains what the patch does to resolve the issue described in the second one. This is also where you can list other approaches that would have solved the problem, and why you picked on over the others.
