This lacks answer to "Why?" question. Think about somebody not as familiar 
with the HW as you are looking back to this very commit message like 5 
years from now and wondering why this change was made.

Preferrably make a separate change out of all these four changes if the 
answers to why question are different.

It would also help in deciding whether Fixes tag is necessary or not 
since you didn't seem to include.
