Hi,

Just a small nit on the patch title: "delete owner assignment" is
virtually useless as a title because it has no meaning without the
broader context and only describes the literal change. It's like
naming a patch "add a line" or "change the code"; it serves no
purpose.

How about "backlight-tosa: delete _unnecessary_ assignment"? This
immediately communicates the reason for/intent of the patch (there is
unnecessary code, thus we can simplify it).

(Sorry about singling out this patch and the apparent bikeshedding,
this comment obviously applies to a lot of patches by a lot of
authors!)

Thanks,


Vegard
