If you have the user's name, you may want to add a Reported-by tag to
give them credit. If you don't have, it doesn't matter either.

I think we usually want a permanent reference in the change log. The
document may be updated later. The page number or the table number may
not be accurate anymore.

I guess you may want to give the exact document name and the version
number here. So people can still easily locate the information several
years later.
E.g., "3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family, Codename Ice
Lake, Uncore Performance Monitoring Reference Manual, Revision 1.00, May
2021"

Other than the above comments, the patch looks good to me.
