Given that's already existing infrastructure and is actually
documented already (the existence of `bl_power` I mean), why would
that be needed? I don't think it's needed to point that out in the
commit log, but if the contributor chooses to document how the patch
was tested, then why not?

Please leave those discussions to subsystem maintainers.

Saying that, if the contributors prefers to go by this name, this is
good enough for me, but having a more explicit or detailed name (like
fore- and surname) is generally prefered.
