When I made the comment I saw that you added bunch of ethtool calls
and wasn't sure this is covered in the change log, in 2nd look I see
one entry which isn't mentioned and isn't directly related to RSS, the
one that gets the number of channels, but it's minor and I assume can
stay here, maybe even non mentioned in the change log, but that will
be according to your taste
