Hi Akhil,

Missed out the *series* and thought the ack was only on the doc patch.
Regarding change log, Just before posting I looked at recent patches.
Most of them, didn't have change log! So, I didn't add it.
Yes, there is a typo in the subject of this patch. Does this require newer version of patches?

Regards
Abhinandan
