Subject: Re: [PATCH] iio: core: remove extra semi-colon from

I think I mentioned this in my email, but I was lazy to provide an example.
Description of changes are required even for the smallest of changes; I think
it's mostly so that people always keep their brains trained to describe all
changes.
So here, you could say something like:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This change removes the semi-colon from the devm_iio_device_register() macro
which seems to have been added by accident via commit 63b19547cc3d9 ("iio: Use
macro magic to avoid manual assign of driver_module").
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make sure commit comments stay within a 75 column width limit.
And make sure you add a version tag for the next patch/re-send.
i.e. do git format-patch -v2 [or v3 for 3rd version,]
And it's a good idea to add a changelog after the line with '---' in the patch
file. Text after that line gets ignored for the commit description.
Something like:
Changelog v1 -> v2:
* added commit change description
