Better, but...
When resending patch series, resend as a series. Otherwise sent them
independently if it's the case.
Remove 'drivers/' part from the subject and make it closer to ~70
characters all together.
You have quite a few people in Cc list, try to leave only TWIMC categore
of them, e.g. maintainers of both subsystems, mailing lists (LKML and
x86@ I think would be enough).

This doesn't answer to the question 'Why?'. First you have to express
your intention and motivation behind, and after put "What is done".

This is not done by the patch, it a side-effect of Git VCS.

This should go exactly after '---' line.

There is a common practice nowadays not to put filenames in the top of
the files. You see the point here? Each time someone would like to move
or rename file...
Take a chance to remove it.
