No.
see the original commit message
"When an NVMe controller reports RTD3 Entry Latency larger than the
value of shutdown_timeout module parameter, we update the
shutdown_timeout accordingly to honor RTD3 Entry Latency. Use an
informational debug level instead of a warning level for it."
So this is not a routine flow. This informs users about using a
different value than the module param they set.

why ?
I don't think it is necessary.

This doesn't sounds like a bug fix to me.
