I disagree. eee16b147121 introduced the check that made my device
not probe anymore, so that's what's referenced in Fixes:. Commit
b44908095612 should have had a Fixes: pointing at eee16b147121
as well, so users don't miss it. But if they miss it, they
will notice this at build-time anyway.

Cheers,
Ahmad
