[Sound-open-firmware] Commits in SOF (part 2)

[Daniel Baluta]

Hello all,

This is a follow up of email thread started [1].

My major request in the first email was for the commit
message to explain WHY the change is needed.

Things are looking good! Patches are easier to review
and understand. This will also help newcomers trying
to understand the code and contribute.

Next request:

Better split of the code into separate patches. Please
create a patch for each logical change.

Do not put small fixes (e.g whitespaces, tabs, code removal)
together with a bigger patch. Just create a separate patch.

Make sure each individual patch compiles so that we
don't break bisection!

Thanks,
Daniel.
