As mentioned by Tobias, the commit messages should elaborate on the
summary - why the change is needed, how it's achieved.

Is this change due to my recent(ish) request on the topic of licenses,
because some distributions don't include GPL code or otherwise ?

In the first case, I was talking about the license miss-match between
the kernel and libdrm version of exynos_drm.h.
Whatever the reason, one should check with all contributors who
touched the files in question.

I doubt any of them will have objections, but still - do reach out for
confirmation. Personally I'm ok with either license, so
