Subject: Re: [RFC] fpga: dfl: fme: Fix cpu hotplug code

It's a good fix, you can drop the RFC in commit title. :)

The title could be more specific, like:

    fpga: dfl: fme: Fix cpu hotplug issue in performance reporting

So we know it is for performance reporting feature at first glance.

May drop this section, it is indicated in the Fixes tag.
