This should also go to the maintainers of the file, which you can find
using the script scripts/get_maintainer.pl.
hw_random is not the right way to start the subject line for this file.
Use git log --oneline to see what others have done.

The log message should be limited to at most 75 columns, because when it
ends up in git it will be slightly indented.
The log message should explain what you are doing and why, not just repeat
the output of a tool. In particular, the file and line number should not
be included in the log message, because that information is already
available in the changes below.
