How about the following for the description:

Upstream commit 52762fbd1c4778ac9b173624ca0faacd22ef4724 usage of
struct dmtimer_clockevent backported to the platform timer code
still used in linux-5.4.y stable kernel. Needed to backport upstream
commit 3efe7a878a11c13b5297057bfc1e5639ce1241ce and commit
25de4ce5ed02994aea8bc111d133308f6fd62566. Earlier kernels use
mach-omap2/timer instead of drivers/clocksource as these kernels still
depend on legacy platform code for booting.

Why are you combining 2 commits into one here?

OK so still too confusing, how about let's just have:

Upstream commit 52762fbd1c4778ac9b173624ca0faacd22ef4724 usage of
struct dmtimer_clockevent backported to the platform timer code
still used in linux-5.4.y stable kernel.

Why not just use the normal commit message with the "upstream commit..."
message as the first line, and then in the s-o-b area add
[backported to 5.4.y - tony]

That's the normal thing we do here for backporting.

thanks,
