Awesome. Thank you. I would just add a commit log to this patch:

[PATCH 2/2] drm/amdgpu: add a comment to VCN 2.5 encode ring

I'd update the subject to: drm/amdgpu: add code comment in vcn_v2_5_hw_init
and add this as a commit log: Add a comment to VCN 2.5 encode ring

Also, I think it's important to follow the process and CC all the people and lists
below:
