Hint, when dealing with sha1 numbers in the kernel, we like the
following format to make it a bit easier to understand:
	8dd8a48b9a7d ("staging: gasket: core: hold reference to pci_dev while used")
which can be generated by doing:
	git show -s --abbrev-commit --abbrev=12 --pretty=format:"%h (\"%s\")%n"

Can you fix this up and resend?

thanks,
