Jarkko, I've asked you before: please write an explanation for your
pull requests.

"Please pull" is not a reason to pull. The "which landed after
v7.3-rc1" is also not talking about what they do.

The tag contains three lines of text, and none of those lines are in
the least helpful or relevant to the contents of the pull.

It doesn't have to be much. For simple driver fixes it can sometimes
be as trivial as just "Misc trivial fixes". But in this case it
clearly could have been something like "Fix tpm error handling and
buffer size bugs". Merge messages and pull requests  don't need the
_details_ - those are in the individual commits - but they should have
a high-level "what happened" overview.

And this pull request is actively hard to parse. The subject line says
"for-next". So I have to look at an email that is actively *trying* to
make it hard for me to decide whether I should pull and gives me *no*
information at all about what it contains.

Be better. Please.
