  - Please follow the subject line convention for each file.  They're
    mostly there after dropping "kbuild", but do capitalize the
    sentence that follows the prefix.  The prefix should always be
    "PCI/<driver-tag>: "
I misspoke about "PCI/<driver-tag>".  I use "PCI/<feature>" for things
like MSI, AER, ASPM, etc.  "PCI: <driver-tag>" is the usual pattern
for things specific to a driver, and it sounds like this is what
you've already done:

I'll have to fight through God knows how many annoyed maintainers to get

I think your script generally does the right thing, and it's already
far more than most folks do, so thank you for that!

I normally do that sort of minimal fixup silently when applying
because there's no point in reposting when it's faster to make those
trivial edits myself.  In this case, removing MODULE_LICENSE instead
of commenting it out is just a little more than I like to do when
keeping your signed-off-by.
