Stating this based on the patch descriptions I have seen.
Others, please advise\correct me if I am wrong.

Patch description should state the problem first[1] and then describe 
how that is fixed in the given patch.

For example:

In the function rtw_update_ht_cap(), phtpriv->ampdu_enable is set to the 
same value in both if and else statements.

This patch removes this unnecessary if-else statement.
