Currently subject is

[PATCH] rust: device_id: replace possible incorrect word in safety
documentation

After this is applied it does not make sense that there read "possible
incorrect". So just remove "possible" from subject.

I have said in other patches already but just to be clear use real name
in signed-off-by line.

On v2 you will have something like this after "---":
