Can we please avoid referencing "lkml.org"?
It's just an unreliable broken website. [1][2] Much more important though is that its URLs _hide_ the Message-Id field; running the threat of losing the e-mail reference forever at some point in the future.
From Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:
If the patch follows from a mailing list discussion, give a URL to the mailing list archive; use the https://lkml.kernel.org/ redirector with a ``Message-Id``, to ensure that the links cannot become stale.
So the V1 link above should've been either:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1530716899.git.yi.z.zhang@linux.intel.com
or:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/cover.1530716899.git.yi.z.zhang@linux.intel.com
and so on..
Thanks,
