Most of your commit logs a pretty short, and this is an issue for
people lacking context. This would be the reviewers, but also users
bisecting to see where there's a bug, or you in a couple of years from
now :)

Every commit log should be as complete as possible. In this case, you
are saying what you are doing, but this is actually redundant with the
patch, I can already tell what you are doing by reading the rest of
the mail. However, what is really important is *why* you are doing it.

I'm really not sure this is worth updating

For example, why you are changing the thermal dependency is not really
obvious to anyone.

I'm not sure this is worth updating either, especially when there's
information that has been dropped.
