Hi Nilo,

please make your "Subject" line more unique. Consider that we may end up 
with having dozen of commits like yours, all of them referring to 
different removals and all without the necessary information to tell 
what they differ in (except the driver/subsystem). So it would help if 
you add the changed file or function to make it more unique.

Please answer the why in the description and not so much what you did. 
Why do we need an empty line? Please use a dot to end the sentences.
I propose:
Align parenthesis to improve readability.

You can mention the tool which gave you the hint but you do not have to.

Thanks for your support.

Bye Philipp
