Do you mean commit message?

I could just write this for patch 1/2 (i e, copy the doc section added 
in the patch):

Optionally, incoming rawmidi bytes can be put inside a frame of type snd_rawmidi_framing_tstamp_t.
The main current benefit is that can enable in-kernel timestamping of incoming bytes, and that
timestamp is likely to be more precise than what userspace can offer.

Tstamp type framing requires a kernel >= 5.14 and a buffer size that is a multiple of
sizeof(snd_rawmidi_framing_tstamp_t). It is only available on input streams.

And this for patch 2/2:

Adds a "clock type" parameter to the "rawmidi" test program, that when 
used and combined with -i (and -v to be useful), activates tstamp type 
framing with the specified clock type.

I hope this description makes it possible for you to review the patch 
content as well.

Thanks,
