Thanks for looking at this.

  - It doesn't apply to -rc1 (the TODO message is missing).  In PCI,
    we normally apply patches on topic branches based on -rc1.

  - The subject should be more specific so it makes sense all by
    itself, e.g., "Log note if we find too many devices with errors"

  - Add period at end of sentence in commit log.

  - Move historical notes (v1 URL, changes since v1) below the "---"
    line so they don't get included in the commit log.

  - __func__ is not relevant here -- that's generally a debugging
    thing.  We can find the function by searching for the message
    text.  In cases like this, I'd rather have something that helps
    identify a *device* that's related to the message, e.g., the
    pci_dev in this case.  So I'd suggest pci_err(dev, "...") here.

  - I'd keep pci_err() instead of switching to pr_notice().  If we get
    this message, we should re-think the way we collect this
    information, so I want to hear about it.
