You can put comments below these 3 dashes^^. There seems to be some
email-header in the commit message above, and the changes between
versions can also be put outside of the commit message. Some
subsystems keep it in the commit-message, though. Maybe Jiri can strip
that when applying? The `Signed-off-by`-etc lines are usually last in
the commit-message. I don't mind either way.

Anyway, thanks for the patch, looks all good!
David
