Please don't repeat the one-line summary as description. There are several cases like the above.

+#define I2C_HW_B_SAA7164        0x010024 /* NXP 7164 based tv cards */

Why? Are you needing to use this constant somewhere? If not, just drop it and
leave the field in blank.

Anyway, I won't delay applying it due to that. I'm committing the series. Please send a fix
later for the i2c-id above mentioned.

Thanks,
Mauro
