Thierry doesn't want you to change the subject prefix, but only the
second "pwm" to make it read:

	pwm: bcm2835: allow PWM driver to be used in atomic context

While I understand Thierry here, I'm fine with a lowercase pwm here,
too. In my book a PWM in all uppercase is the type of hardware and pwm
in all lowercase is the framework's name. If you use "PWM driver" or
"pwm driver" then doesn't matter much.

Your matching things like:

	pwm: pwm-tiehrpwm: Add support for configuring polarity of PWM

with the second command. These are perfectly fine as pwm-tiehrpwm is the
driver name and so shouldn't be capitalized. With a bit more care here,
we get:

	$ git log --no-merges --oneline drivers/pwm/ | grep -E '^.+: [a-z][^:]*$' | wc -l
	114
	$ git log --no-merges --oneline drivers/pwm/ | grep -E '^.+: [A-Z][^:]*$' | wc -l
	1167

And the newest of the 114 with a small letter is from 2013.

Best regards
Uwe
