I asked why you are updating. You claim you update because it has 3
GMAC... but that's irrelevant, because it is easy to answer with: it did
not have 3 GMAC before?

So same question: Provide real reason why you are making updates. That's
why you have commit msg.

mt7988 or MT7988? gmac or GMAC? SRAM or SRAM? and so on... it is not
easy to read and understand your commit msgs.

Why making this change? It's redundant and nothing in commit msg
explains that.
