Sounds good to me.
When sending a patch, don't forget to update:
Documentation/PCI/endpoint/pci-test-function.rst: 1) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_MAGIC
Documentation/PCI/endpoint/pci-test-function.rst:* PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_MAGIC
drivers/misc/pci_endpoint_test.c:#define PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_MAGIC
in addition to renaming the struct member in struct pci_epf_test_reg.
Kind regards,
Niklas
