Dec 30, 2019 at 15:11 comment added Rémi Peyre Are you sure you want to write you inequality with $\mathit{KL}(p, q)$, not $\mathit{KL}(q, p)$? In information theory, $H(q) + \mathit{KL}(q, p)$ has a nice meaning (it is the cost to describe $q$ when using a description method optimized for $p$); while, as far as I know, $H(q) + \mathit{KL}(p, q)$ does not mean anything interesting…
