Hi Andrew, Florian,

We are inconsistent on commit titles and messages. Some of them use
"net: " prefix, some others don't, sometimes lower or upper case titles.

I'd suggest we stick with the "net: dsa: " prefix and lowercase titles.

When possible, let's try to respect the 50/72 Git rule.

So we'd have e.g.:

    net: dsa: add new bindings
    net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: add support for foo
    net: dsa: sf2: remove bar
    ...

The networking documentation doesn't seem to have opinion on the "net: "
prefix. We might drop it and keep only "dsa: " for core and drivers.

What do you think?

Thanks,

        Vivien
