subject is much better now.
It would be fine if the body of the changelog conveyed the same message.
The body explains what the patch does, it is better to focus on why the

So maybe a short explanation that userspace may transfer a newine, and
that this terminating newline is replaced by a '\0' to avoid followup
isses.

Please add a space after the name, before the '<'.
This is also suggested by checkpatch.pl.

You did not add spaces around operators as requested.
