The subject line is:
[net PATCH] octeontx2: Fix klockwork and coverity issues

So you want these fixes backported to net? If so, you need to provide
Fixes: tags.

This patch is way too big. A fix patch generally fixes one thing, and
it documents what it fixes. Or it could be one class of problems, like
uninitialised variables etc. Its good to include the message from the
static analyser in the commit message.
