This subject line is not properly formed.

After "[PATCH ...] " you must provide a proper subsystem prefix specifier
followed by a colon character, and a SPACE.

Otherwise nobody reading the GIT shortlog has any idea where in the kernel
your change is taking place.

An appropriate subsystem prefix for this patch woult be "qede: ".
