Subject: Re: [PATCH] NTB: test: remove a duplicate check

It's not a huge deal obviously but your commit was a6bed7a54165 ("NTB:
Introduce NTB MSI Test Client") but you know that if I had sent a patch
called ("NTB: remove a duplicate check") people would have correctly
complained because the patch prefix is too vague.

What I'm saying is we do this all the time:

[PATCH] NTB: add a new foobazle driver

But it should be:

[PATCH] NTB: foobazle: add a new foobazle driver

Then I can just copy and paste your patch prefix instead of trying
invent one.
