Hi!

Thanks for taking the time to submit the patch and sorry for the delay
in getting back to you. I've just queued this in master-next for
further testing. The patch itself is great, I did have to tweak the
commit message a bit. In particular:

I added "main: " as a prefix to the shortlog since this indicates there
the change was made. I also changed the bug reference to our standard
form [YOCTO #XXXX] so that when we search commits for bug references,
its in a standard form. The commit message needs to stand alone without
someone needing to read the bug, that is there just as a useful link
for more information. All just minor formatting tweaks really though.

Cheers,

Richard
