For the Redpine driver in Xenial - ubuntu/rsi, please try and follow this subject
line template:

Subject: [Xenial SRU][PATCH] UBUNTU: SAUCE: Redpine: <summary>
(for reference: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2017-June/084584.html)

Also helps to have the SRU justification on the launchpad bug, in case some one goes
looking for it.
Please  re-send the patch-set with suggested changes. I'll NAK this version for now.
