and particularly

https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches#commit_messages

would be a good thing to read.

Also, clearly you need to actually sign off your patches:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#developer-s-certificate-of-origin-1-1

(but yeah read the entire page)

Anyway, I'm with the other comments - what's the point in replacing
things like "LED_FULL" with arbitrary "255". I guess your commit message
should explain that, I don't see how it really is so obviously
"obsolete" that this needs no more comments.
