Please describe the actual problem you're solving, to allow others
working in and around this driver to know what issue(s) are corrected.

This will save others debugging time, and it will teach others to help
you maintain this driver.

The section in the documentation on how to describe your changes is
good, please read it:
https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html#describe-your-changes

Please use ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl on the upstream tree, as this
uses up to date information about recipients.

your previous patch (he's usually quite explicit about it...). I really
would like some more details on the bug fix...
