Thanks for sending v3 as a new email, rather than threaded with
prior revisions.

I think you repeat the changelog in the patches, but I'll go
ahead and comment right here. It applies in the patch too.

The change log is to inform reviewers of what actually changed
in the patch since previous version. So let's be specific
in these v2, v3, and next a v4 changelog. I think this is
right:

v4: Update the changelog to match revision history
v3: Update memcpy() param to match new name backup_PMKID_list
v2: No changes. Just a patch sending error.

There's a section in the first patch tutorial about replying to
patch feedback and you can read any of the lore lists to see
examples. Folks will expect you to reply to their feedback.
Even if it's just a simple "Thanks, got it!" Then, they will
look to see if their feedback affected the next revision.
