Gah.

Those reverts don't actually say what was wrong with the commits.

The "breaks a number of PPC platforms" is not actually saying what
went wrong. Breaks how? Does it stop booting, does it not build, or
what?

And the link in it also is entirely useless.

This link _would_ have been useful:

  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-next/20200323175946.7ad497ea@canb.auug.org.au/

but that's not what is in the commit messages.

Please write _useful_ commit messages, not this completely worthless noise.
