This explanation is good but the title is not clear enough. It should
start with "ixgbe: fix". Fix what? I'd say "fix access to last byte of EEPROM".
Then creating a commit starting with "fix" should trigger 2 other things:
- a Fixes: tag
- an update in the release notes (because the bug exists in previous releases)
Thanks
