Add a single "Updated NXP DPAA drivers" entry for the new features and
device arguments added by this series, with one sub-bullet each:

  - Offline (O/H) port device support (drv_oldev bus devarg)
  - Rx/Tx taildrop threshold devargs (drv_rx_taildrop, drv_tx_taildrop)
  - Fmcless Rx queue count devarg (drv_fmcless_rxq)
  - Shared MAC kernel interface name devarg (drv_sh_if_name)
  - DMA devargs to control the existing scatter-gather batching, data
    validation and ERR050757 programming at runtime
    (dpaa_dma_sg_disable, dpaa_dma_data_validation,
    dpaa_dma_pci_read_disable)

     with per-descriptor mbuf free (``rte_pktmbuf_free_seg``) and prefetch hints.
   * Changed the set of per-queue xstats counters.
 
+* **Updated NXP DPAA drivers.**
+
+  * Added support for the DPAA Offline/Host-command (O/H) port, allowing
+    a DPDK application to use an offline port for packet processing.
+    The feature is selected through the ``drv_oldev`` bus device argument.
+  * Added ``drv_rx_taildrop`` and ``drv_tx_taildrop`` device arguments
+    to configure per-port frame queue taildrop congestion thresholds
+    at device probe time.
+  * Added ``drv_fmcless_rxq`` device argument to set the number of
+    Rx queues when running without FMC configuration.
+  * Added ``drv_sh_if_name`` device argument to provide the Linux kernel
+    interface name of a shared MAC interface when it differs from the
+    ``fmX-macY`` style name used by DPDK.
+  * Added device arguments to the DPAA QDMA driver to control existing
+    driver behaviour at runtime: ``dpaa_dma_sg_disable`` submits each
+    descriptor as an individual single-entry transfer instead of the
+    default scatter-gather batching, ``dpaa_dma_data_validation`` enables
+    the post-transfer data validation helper for debugging, and, when the
+    driver is built with ``RTE_DMA_DPAA_ERRATA_ERR050757``,
+    ``dpaa_dma_pci_read_disable`` skips the ERR050757 source
+    read-transaction programming.
