All these ^^^ Cc in commit log are useless in this case, they are useful 
only in the case people are not listed when calling get_maintainers.pl
or because you specifically need them to be in Cc. Your name/e-mail 
should be present as SoB and not as Cc because you're sending the patch, 
so add Signed-off-by instead of Cc for you entry and in case you did 
some modification write it like:

Signed-off-by: Giulio Benetti <giulio.benetti at benettiengineering.com>
Signed-off-by: Jesse Taube <mr.bossman075 at gmail.com>
[Jesse: changed this, set this to etc.]

This way authorship is kept, but you write what you have done on this patch.

This is something that prevents driver from working so a patch like this 
should not be accepted.

ditto

This ^^^ was another TODO: I've put there, ditto.
Also take care to never leave commented code.

This break builds and makes the patch not bisectable.
