Hi Daniel,
sure. I will correct the summary typo and also feed it to the CI bot.

Also, according to Felix Kuehling's comment on a similar patch for
drm/amdkfd driver, an ID can be 0. The change I am proposing is more
efficient for conditions that do not want to use ID as 0. Otherwise,
id = 0 is an acceptable possibility. So, my statement that "Id 0 is an invalid
identifier" is not true.

Can you please comment if this is accurate and I should reword my log
message as well?

Thank you.
