The changelog doesn't describe the user-visible impact of the bug.
Please always include this so that people know whether to backport the
fix into their kernels, and so they can determine whether the patch
will fix a problem which they are observing.

This patch fixes the bug that causes kernel panic when number of received
doorbells is larger than number of entries in the inbound doorbell
queue (current default value = 512).
Another possible indication for this bug is large number of spurious
doorbells reported by tsi721 driver after reaching the queue size maximum.
