> The LPI TW Timer will be using the defined default value instead of

Please put the Changelog above the various signoffs and other tags, as those
should be at the end of the commit log message.
Just out of curiousity, where did you see put the changelog after the
tags, and thus caused you to use this layout? If you decided that on
your own, this is pretty much always a bad idea. Look to other
patches which have been accepted as a guide for how to format your commit
log message.
Applied, thank you.
