This is a bit big for an empty explanation.  You're adding a lot of

I know its in the code, but the reason we have changelogs is so that
when distros ask "is this fixed upstream" they can look through the git
log for the driver to get an idea.  For them you need to say that this
is SLI rev 4 only and then give the above explanation.
