Current trend is to include the change log into the
commit message itself. It might be useful to examine
at a later time what transformation the patch went
through. It also simplifies things for you since you
don't have to maintain this separately.

The function and data structure above are not required
when CONFIG_MTD is not defined so these should be
under #ifdef CONFIG_MTD too. Towards this..

.. rename this function as something like da850_evm_setup_mac_addr() and
make it take void as argument and use:

        register_mtd_user(&da850evm_spi_notifier);
