For a patch series, the cover letter (patch 0 of the series) does not get
included in the commit log anywhere.   The cover letter can provide
overall motivation and describe how the patches fit together, but the
commit message for each patch should be as self-contained as possible.

The commit message here refers to "the VF unload issue", and there's
no context for understanding what that issue is, though you do provide
some description in the text following "where". Could you provide a
commit message that is a bit more self-contained?

Same comment applies to commit message for the 2nd patch of this
series.

Also, avoid text like "this patch".   See the "Describe your changes"
section in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst where the
use of imperative mood is mentioned.  If you like, I can provide some
offline help on writing a good commit message.
