Please describe the fix you are doing. For Bugzilla you can use Fixes tag

Also add the correct subsystem tag, so the changelog can look like:

dmaengine: ioat: set error code on failures

In ioat_dma_self_test(), when the calls to dma_mapping_error() fails, the
value of return variable err is 0 ...

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188591
Fixes: Commit you fixes

..

So please update the changelog and resend with Acks collected
