Why this patch is alone? It is for a change already applied?
If you forgot the release notes, you should add a Fixes: line
so we know which code change it refers.
Thanks

You must keep a double blank line before before next heading.

Anyway you should move it before testpmd note, as explained in the comment:
     Suggested order in release notes items:
     * Core libs (EAL, mempool, ring, mbuf, buses)
     * Device abstraction libs and PMDs
       - ethdev (lib, PMDs)
       - cryptodev (lib, PMDs)
       - eventdev (lib, PMDs)
       - etc
     * Other libs
     * Apps, Examples, Tools (if significative)
