Yes, please make the text whatever makes the most sense. In most of these
cases I'm not a domain expert so I construct these descriptions based upon
code comments, Kconfig descriptions, and git descriptions, and in some cases
these are originally wrong due to cut-n-paste or the drivers have evolved so
that information is no longer accurate.

I need to add a version of that to my b4 cover letter!
