When you submit a patch for a particular driver in the drivers/net/wireless/ 
tree, it is preferred that the subject start with the driver name, not with 
net:wireless. Accordingly, your subject should be "ray_cs: Change 1 to true for 
bool type variable". In fact, you can probably choose a better wording for the 
rest of the title, but I do not insist.

Among other advantages, this choice of subject allows easy searches for patches 
for a given driver using 'git log'.
