Please review: https://kernelnewbies.org/Outreachyfirstpatch
Section on 'Following the driver commit style'.

To follow the commit style of the greybus driver, update these
commit messages to be under 80 chars, and use "staging", not
"Staging"

Like this:
drivers/staging/greybus$ git log --oneline | head -3
1498054921e2 staging: greybus: Inline pwm_chip_to_gb_pwm_chip()
a7d2a41b7453 staging: greybus: Inline gb_audio_manager_module()
f7d3ece211be staging: greybus: Inline macro gpio_chip_to_gb_gpio_controller()

BTW - I wasn't instantly sure about using 'Inline' as a verb in this
case, so I did this (git log --oneline | grep inline) and found it's
a common use. 

We're building a habit here for when you submit across subsystems
in the future.
