I don't think this is a good idea.
Thank you for the review. I hope I have answered the questions.and will happily answer any others.
That being said, a single sentence doesn't seem particularly important, hence I withdraw my change request.

https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/39087/1//COMMIT_MSG@10 PS1, Line 10: it seems proper
To whom?
I would think a lot of people. See capitalization rules[1][2][3][4], point 1, as found by a random search. Point 11 of [2] even states trademarks should be capitalized.
There seems to be disagreement as to when exceptions are permitted[4][5][6]. Listed examples are name of an author that didn't capitalize anything, mixed-case names (iThing), and names (variables, functions ..) where capitalization would be a meaningful change, neither of which seem directly relevant.

What is "proper text"? Conversely, what would "improper text" be?
I meant terse fragments or comments vs. flowing text with structure, sentences, paragraphs, that one would expect to abide by the grammar rules of a given language.
