Users may want to query the config space of a vDPA device, to choose a
appropriate one for a certain guest. This means the users need to read the
config space before FEATURES_OK, and the existence of config space
contents does not depend on FEATURES_OK.

The spec says:
The device MUST allow reading of any device-specific configuration field
before FEATURES_OK is set by the driver. This includes fields which are

device.

Fixes: 30ef7a8ac8a07 (vdpa: Read device configuration only if FEATURES_OK)

Fix is fine, but fixes tag needs correction described below.

Above commit id is 13 letters should be 12.
And 
It should be in format
Fixes: 30ef7a8ac8a0 ("vdpa: Read device configuration only if FEATURES_OK")

Yea you normally use

--format='Fixes: %h (\"%s\")'

Please use checkpatch.pl script before posting the patches to catch these errors.
There is a bot that looks at the fixes tag and identifies the right kernel version to apply this fix.

I don't think checkpatch complains about this if for no other reason
that sometimes the 6 byte hash is not enough.
