Yea, I expect people to read the commit message and not just the
subject if they want to know what a patch does. The MLCG abbreviation
is already well established within the driver code.

That's unfortunately true. I don't know exactly what the pulse eater
control bits mean either. I've taken them verbatim from the reset
sequence in the Vivante kernel driver, which is also why I didn't try
to assign some meaning by giving them a name, but keep them as BITs in
the driver code.
