It is the controller driver that defines the MSI-X data field yes, what
I don't get is why we have to add this comment in the commit log.

Basically Aardvark can support MSI-X up to 32 MSI-X vectors and you
are enabling them with this patch.

Is there anything *else* I am missing wrt 16-bit/32-bit data fields
that we need to know ?

I don't understand what you want to convey with this commit log.

To me, the whole comment does not add anything (if I understood it),
please let me know what you want to express with it.

To me this patch enables MSI-X support because the HW can support them,
that's it.
