The Subject "Subsystem: " prefix is meant to refer to what area of
the kernel you are changing.

You aren't making changes to "Checkpatch: " so that isn't an
appropriate prefix.  Someone scanning the commit header lines
won't be able to tell what part of the kernel your change is
touching.

In this case you should use "nvidia: " as your subsystem
prefix.
