> +  The e1000 base driver was updated with several changes including the
> +  following:
> +
> +  * Add some new i218 devices
> +  * Fix issue with link flap on 82579
> +  * Fix issue with jumbo frame CRC failures in client
> +  * Add support for inverted format ETrackId
> +  * Add flags to set eee advertisement modes
> +  * Prevent ulp flow if cable connected
> +  * Cleanup NAHUM6LP_HW tags

Is it really a feature?

> +  * Use the correct i210 register for EEMNGCTL
> +  * Fix to enable both ulp and EEE in Sx state
> +  * Fix link detect flow
> +  * Set correct value of beacon duration
> +  * Disable extension header parsing for IPv6
> +  * Fix for i354 88E1112 PHY using AutoMedia Detect
> +  * Implement 88E1543 PHY initialization
> +  * Increase timeout of polling bit RSPCIPHY in check_reset_block
> +  * Synchronization of MAC-PHY interface only on non- ME systems

Some of theses features are not easy to understand.
Please avoid to speak of the registers in the release notes.
Something more high level is expected.

> +  See the git log for full details of the e1000/base changes.

This last sentence is valuable for any entry in the release notes.
Let's say it is implicit.

>  Resolved Issues
>  ---------------

Some of the fixes above should be in this section.

John, please could you check?
