This changelog is too terse:

Please update the changelog to describe the current behavior, and how 
it affects your platform. (I.e. how do users notice, if at all?)

Then describe why you think that behavior should be changed. ie: 
what's the reason for this patch.

Only then describe the details of the change itself.

Please also run scripts/checkpatch.pl over your patch which will 
report trivial coding style problems like the one here.

Thanks,
