The patch from the referenced commit had been cherry-picked for the mainline kernel via the drm-fixes branch, so Greg argued that the "Fixes:" tag should have referenced that commit because a reference to a non-mainline commit doesn't work with the stable team's tooling, which was confirmed by Sasha. However, Alex mentioned that some time ago it was determined that the "Fixes" tag should reference the original commit (drm-next is upstream for drm-fixes I guess) so that you could follow the cherry-pick -x chain. As far as I can tell, the documentation doesn't say explicitly what is correct. Since this issue might be relevant for more people, I'm asking for a clarification so that the issue can be avoided in the future. Most likely the documentation should be made clear on this matter.
