Patch history is missing here.

Also, I would like the commit summary (first commit message line, also
subject of the patch mail) to clearly state what the patch *does* as
opposed to what *happens*, because it is unclear right now if you're
describing the solution or the issue. Something like :

"omap3_beagle: flush UART3 xmit on enable if TEMT is broken"
