Please read the kernel documentation for how to properly refer to a
commit in the tree.

But more importantly, this changelog does not describe why this is
needed, or even what this is doing at all.

And if it's a sysfs file you are adding, where is the Documentation/ABI/
entry?

Also, why me?  I'm not the maintainer of this file :)

thanks,
