This patch submission is not properly formed.

You subject line should be of the form:

subsystem: Description.

"subsystem" here would be "cpsw: " or something like that.

Secondly, you should not refer to a commit ID in the patch
Subject line, instead just describe exactly what is being
fixed in the most succinct yet complete manner that is
possible.

Thirdly, when you do refer to commit ID's in your commit
message body you must do so in the following format:

${SHA1_ID} ("Commit message header line text.")

The commit message body is also not a place to have a general
discussion. Please avoid saying things like "I think", for example.
State facts, and be exact about what the problem is and exactly
how you are fixing it.

Because this commit message will be read by others looking at your
change days, weeks, years from now.

Thanks.
