The 802.11 physical PMA sub-layer defines three media: copper, fiber and
backplane. For PMD, the backplane is similar to the fiber, the main
differences are that backplane doesn't have optical module.
Because the interface of firmware fiber is also applicable to the
backplane, this patch supports the backplane only through simple
extension.

We are sorting PMD updates on vendor name, so can you please move update
above Intel updates.
Except above minor release notes location order, patch looks good to me,
but it requires hns3 maintainers ack/review to proceed. (Same for both
patches.)
Thanks,
