There are good reasons why the style is like it is. If I would start adding "wireless:" tags to the title it would clutter 'git log --oneline' and gitk output, which I use all the time. And I'm not interested making my work harder, there would need to be really strong reasons why I would even recondiser changing it. BTW, this is also documented in our wiki: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches#commit_title_is_wrong -- https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches
