Hi Dominik,
please make your "Subject" line more unique. Consider that we may end up
with having dozen of commits like yours, all of them referring to
different removals and all without the necessary information to tell
what they differ in (except the driver/subsystem). So it would help if
you add the changed file or function to make it more unique.
The description can be improved. Please always consider that checkpatch
can be wrong. So checkpatch is not a justification.
I propose:
Align the * on each line of the block comment to improve readability.
Important is to describe the why this patch makes the code better.
You can mention the tool which gave you the hint but you do not have to.
If you send in a second version of this patch please use a change
history. Description from Dan under:

Thanks for your support.
Bye Philipp
