What I really meant was, the subject and the commit message talk about
"the loop" as if it's the one and only loop in all of HDCP.

Imagine having to write a changelog for all the changes in a pull
request [1]. Imagine you don't know anything about the details in the
commits.

First, you look at the commit subject. Huh, what loop? Then you look at
the commit message. Huh, what? The commit message is a single five-line
sentence. It's really really hard to understand what it's trying to
say. What's being done? Especially why? What's the user impact? I'd have
to look at the code to understand, and that's not a great sign for the
commit message. If it's a fix, is there a bug report that I could look
at to help me understand, etc.


BR,
Jani.
