I'm sorry for nit-picking, but you must avoid empty lines between the
the 'Fixes' and the 'Signed-off-by' tags (or any other tag).

Additionnaly you should include a summary of the changes WRT the
previous patch version, see e.g. commit cec16052d5a7.

The patch contents looks good, but it's better if you address the
above, thanks!
