I don't think this commit message is meaningful according to
Documentation/SubmittingPatches[1]:

    The body should provide a meaningful commit message, which:

    . explains the problem the change tries to solve, i.e. what is wrong
      with the current code without the change.

    . justifies the way the change solves the problem, i.e. why the
      result with the change is better.

    . alternate solutions considered but discarded, if any.

    . records the resolution of design or viability concerns raised by the
      community during the review, if any, ensuring the historical record
      explains why the chosen approach was accepted over alternatives.
