Even for a small patch like this, your commit message is inadequate.

First, it's obvious from the code that you're adding a break for one
case. Instead, you should explain what bug you fix. If someone hits this
bug and is looking for a fix, he's not going to find your patch with
this title.

Second, that break was omitted from or removed by some commit, and you
should find out which one it was, and reference it in your commit
message. It's helpful for everyone, and particularly for maintainers and
backporters who need to find that out anyway to decide where this fix
should be applied.

Thanks,
Jani.
