Okay, this is good.  Unfortunately I guess process over-ruled common
sense on this occasion (meant more of a joke than offensively). ;)

When new drivers are sent, the patch format is more likely to be:

  mfd: "Adding new driver for ..."

As there is no <device> to mention.  However, as yours is an add-on
patch which makes changes to an existing driver, a better subject
line would have been:

  mfd: <device>: "I'm doing this"

... but I completely understand the confusion.  Not much to change
then, keep doing what you're doing.
