The current commit logs read more like "make XYZ follow the spec", and that's not really what we need to know. The commit log needs to tell us why we need the change, not just what the spec says. For example, maybe VFs can't use PASID because Linux incorrectly tries to use the PASID capability on the VF when it should be using the capability on the PF. The commit log should say that explicitly and also say what the current behavior is, e.g., does it cause IOMMU faults, does it cause data corruption, does some DMA mapping interface called by the VF driver fail when it shouldn't, etc?
