Hi Marek,

I am going to make a general request, can you please review the Commit 
Guildlines Wiki for Openembedded:

http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines

We appreciate your patches, but the commit messages need to be formatted 
correctly.  The Yocto: tag is not needed and you could clearly include 
which recipe, bbclass, file or subsystem (if across multiple files) so 
in the above it would be kernel.bbclass: ...

If you could please resubmit your changes with the correct commit 
summary for this series and your other patches that would be greatly 
appreciated.

Myself and others may have further feedback on your patches.

Thanks
    Sau!
