Please write a better patch descriptions. The above could easily
be split into 3 or 4 paragraphs, with would make it easier to
read.

Also, too much details, written on a spaghetti style;)

It is obvious by anyone that looked at the patch that
"media_entity_pipeline_start() routine is renamed to 
__media_entity_pipeline_start() minus the graph_mutex lock and
unlock."

I read exactly the same thing at the C code, *and* at the
subject of the e-mail. Patch subject/description should tell
what, why and how (but you should not repeat what can easily
be inferred from looking at the diff).

I would describe it as:

   Currently, media pipeline graph traversal routines take
   the graph_mutex lock.

   While this works for the current code, we'll need 
   unlocked versions of them because
   (some explanation *why* you need it, with is the main
    thing that should be at the description).

   So, add non-locking media_entity_pipeline_start/stop()
   variations.
