Sorry about this lingering ... To the changes itself, I don't have any
real possibility to evaluate these changes.  From the subject and commit
message, I do not understand *why* this is needed.  You just describe
what I can see in the patch itself.

Having an improved commit message actually describing *why* these
changes are needed - that helps motivating us to apply it.  We don't
like to apply things "just because it fixes things".  What is this "it"
and why is /this/ the right way to do it?

Basically a patch with commit message consists of three parts: Problem
description, Why and How.  The patch diff is the How.  These two others
belong to the commit message and often also worthy a comment line or two
in modified files as well - especially if it isn't clear why.

I would strongly recommend you to read this blog post [1] on writing
commit messages.  It is a really good written post on this topic.

That approach got rejected and we went for this [2] approach instead,
will that change anything in regards to the changes in this patch?
