Hi Julia,

I think we do not need the function name in the subject but we need 
something to distinguish between the patches. The subject line needs to 
be a little unique. Otherwise we will have 100 patches like "[PATCH] 
staging: cfg80211: Remove parentheses" when we are unlucky. Any better 
proposal for a Subject uniqueness is welcome.

Function name for this purpose is OK for me.

Thanks for your support.

Bye Philipp
