Subject: Re: [RESEND V2 PATCH 1/3] soc/tegra: fuse: export tegra_sku_info for
 module use

I think the subject doesn't need "for module use" because that's
implicit in exporting a symbol.

Also please wrap the commit message at around 72 characters. If you make
the lines too short it becomes almost as difficult to readable as if
they're too long.

Other than these small nitpicks this looks like a reasonable change to
me.

Ben, patch 3/3 has a dependency on this one. Would you prefer to merge
this as part of the Nouveau tree or do you want me to provide a stable
branch that you can pull in to resolve the dependency?

In case of the former:
