IMHO, the patch description should specify the more general cause
why have to be changed. Actually, almost people might not know
the 'exynos-bus'. So, firstly, you have to specify the general cause
why this patch is necessary without 'exynos-bus' word and then
add the real use-case with 'exynos-bus' example.
