Subject: Re: [PATCH] ACPI: remove useless comparisons in
 acpi_pci_link_check_possible(), acpi_pci_link_check_current()

Since this only affects pci_link.c, I would update the subject to
match the style of previous commits:

  ACPI/PCI: Remove useless NULL pointer checks

Rewrap to fill 75 columns, which is the typical width of commit logs.

I think you should drop this Fixes: tag because it's not useful.
