I suspect hpa missed it because the patch was opaque and 
non-descriptive: the title talks about a 'warning' that is 
supposedly fixed but the changelog does not explain what 
warning it is and why the change matters.

Please use the customary changelog style we use in the 
kernel:

  " Current code does (A), this has a problem when (B).
    We can improve this doing (C), because (D)."

I've seen this pattern of deficient changelogs a dozen 
times in your patches this year alone ...

Thanks,

        Ingo
