Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next 3/5] driver/net: enic: Try DMA 64 first, then
 failover to DMA

Hi Dave

The subject for this should be "driver/net: enic: Try DMA 64 first, then
failover to DMA 32"

The "32" got truncated, please add this while committing. Let me know if
you want me to send another patch.

thanks
