Hi Babu,

Could this changelog please start with some context about what the
rftype flags are? Please note that the changelogs are required
to comply to the x86 requirements as documented in:
Documentation/process/maintainer-tip.rst (there is a whole
section on changelogs).

After a context the problem could be made specific with something
like "rftype flags use the RF_ as well as RFTYPE_ prefixes."
