How do you think about a wording variant like the following?
Subject:
[PATCH v2] nfp: abm: Fix incomplete release of system resources in nfp_abm_vnic_set_mac()
Change description:
…
Thus add a call of the function “nfp_nsp_close” for the completion
of the exception handling.

I suggest to reconsider the order for resource clean-up function calls
a bit more.
+ nfp_nsp_close(nsp);
- eth_hw_addr_random(nn->dp.netdev);
- return;
+ goto generate_random_address;
Should such a jump target be added in another update step?
Would you like to add the tag “Fixes”?
