Hi Brian,

nothing against the patch as such, but your subject line is not so nice.
As it becomes the commit message first line, it should be shorter.  Add
more descriptive text instead, please, and make sure that it tells the
reader what you're really doing, i. e.:

You write "add <something>", but your patch is actually exchanging one
<somthing> with another <something>.

The reader of the commit message would probably like to know why you're
doing that. Partially copying the original Linux kernel commit message
should be ok.

Also, given that changes a string, does it qualify for a "Fixes:" tag?


Thanks,
Corinna
