Hi Dan,

Thank you for the review and for pointing this out.

The reason the manual inspection and testing commentary was placed above
the `---` line is that we were strictly following the example template
provided in Documentation/process/researcher-guidelines.rst.

In the researcher-guidelines[1], the example explicitly places the build
and hardware testing disclaimer before the Signed-off-by tags, which is
why we included it directly in the commit message.

Please let me know if you would like a v2 to adjust the position of the
mentioned commit log details.
