This summary line is too long. The Git commit log format convention is:
Short summary (no more than ~80 characters), blank line, detailed
description. The short summary is what appears in the output of git
shortlog and should give a rough idea of what the change does.

The details need to be in the Git commit log itself. The convention for
referencing bug reports is:

Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72849

The change itself looks good to me. Please resend with a fixed commit
log. BTW, in general patches submitted for inclusion should have a
Signed-off-by: tag.
