Thanks, I will use this CC-list in v4.

I am sorry about the confusion. I think the latter part of this sentence is
just a direct copy of title in [1]. But by reading the content of that
cover letter I think...

...this is correct. So I will use your suggested sentence in v4. Thanks.

You are correct. I will change to:
"Support VirtIO-MMIO devices device-tree binding creation in toolstack
