Thanks for your update, the updated commit log is clearer than before.
At the same time, when I use checkpatch.pl to detect the patch, there
will be the
following error:

ERROR: Please use git commit description style 'commit <12+ chars of
sha1> ("<title line>")'
- ie: 'commit 890ed578df82 ("vfio-pci: Use pci "try" reset interface")'

Line 2785 ~ 2801 in checkpatch.pl, the script can't handle the commit message
which contains double quotes because of the expression `([^"]+)`. Like
the "try" above.
Maybe checkpatch.pl needs to be modified.

Thanksï
