1) Start every sentence with a capital letter.

2) Use a period at the end of every sentence.

3) Use a blank line between paragraphs.  A short line (like "generic
define" above) *suggests* a new paragraph, but it's ambiguous, which
makes it hard to read.

4) This patch must build correctly by itself.  I didn't try it, but
I'm a little suspicious that including pci_regs.h will cause
redefinition of PCI_STATUS and other #defines that are the same
between pci_regs.h and skfbi.h.  You could either combine the two
patches, or make the first patch simply rename PCI_REV_ID to
PCI_REVISION_ID in skfbi.h and drvfbi.c  Then the second patch could
add the #include of pci_regs.h and remove the corresponding #defines
from skfbi.h.  Maybe a third patch would remove all the other unused
PCI_* definitions.  Arguably the second and third could be combined.
But it's much easier for a maintainer to squash patches together than
to split them apart, so err on the side of splitting them up.
