./devtools/check-git-log.sh -1
Wrong headline label:
        app/test-pmd: stop all ports before any close

Should be app/testpmd

The commit message should also have the "fix" keyword

> 
> This patch proposes a slightly different test-pmd quit operation: stop all devices
> before starting to close any device. Basically, stop all moving parts before
> beginning to remove them. The current test-pmd quit is stoping and closing each
> device before moving to the next device.
> 
> If all devices in the system are independent of each other, this difference is
> usually not important. In case of Soft NIC devices, any such virtual device
> typically depends on one or more physical devices being alive, as it accesses
> their queues, so this difference becomes important.
> 
> Without this straightforward fix, all the Soft NIC devices need to be manually
> stopped before the quit command is issued, otherwise the quit command can
> sometimes crash the test-pmd application.

There should be a fixes line before the sign-off, and maybe a " Cc: stable at dpdk.org" line
