No problem, and understood.

There are various reasons we might use a "FIXUP" prefix within the
Chrome OS kernel; among them: a patch might diverge upstream, as it gets
reviewed, but we might already have applied the patch to our tree.

In this case, you have a totally new patch.

[If you wanted to represent the "FIXUP" concept here, you might use a
tag like this, before the Signed-off-by:

Fixes: 1f0d3bb02785 ("pwm: Add ChromeOS EC PWM driver")
]

If in doubt, check the git log for examples (as you did already), but
note that there are different practices for mainline Linux and for the
Chromium OS, as Chromium OS is a downstream project.

Yes, that'd be all.

(And you can include my 'Reviewed-by:' tag when you resend.)
