Do you really want the "v2" to be part of the patch title in the git repos? I 
expect not, thus you should put it inside the []. All that stuff is stripped off 
when the patch is merged.

Similarly, do you want the v2 line in the patch description to be part of the 
permanent record? If not, move it below the --- line.

You are also missing a Signed-off-by: line. Have you read 
Documentation/SubmittingPatches? At least you should run every patch through 
scripts/checkpatch.pl before submitting it.

Finally, why do you want to add another Kconfig variable? I suggest either 
deleting the logging statement, or commenting it out. I'm not sure that this 
info would ever need logging.

I NACK this patch.
