This repeats what the commit message already says. For a single-patch series a cover letter is usually not needed.

Documentation/MyFirstContribution [1] notes that the commit message should already explain the change at a high level, and that any extra context can go below the '---' line instead. I would drop this cover letter unless there's something else to say.
