I saw the applied patch and noticed "Changes in v2"
was moved to git-description.

    The core support for the pinctrl drivers for all the UniPhier SoCs.

    Changes in v2:
      - drop vogus THIS_MODULE because this file is always built-in
      - drop vogus "include <linux/module.h> because this file is
        always built-in

Do we need to record such stuff in the git history?

In my opinion, the difference between patch versions
should be mentioned to help reviewers, but not included in the git repository.

Early versions are often so immature that they must be improved
in the review process.
No point to record what was updated from those versions, I think.

This is why I put "changed in v2" below the "---".
