Subject: checkpatch wrong error message

Hi Joe,

Running ./scripts/checkpatch on the attached [1] patch i get the
following error:

ERROR: Please use 12 or more chars for the git commit ID like: 'commit
01234567890ab ("commit description")'
#6:
After commit b2b49ccbdd54 (PM: Kconfig: Set PM_RUNTIME if PM_SLEEP is

total: 1 errors, 0 warnings, 16 lines checked

0001-iio-kmx61-PM-Replace-CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME-with-CONFIG_P.patch has
style problems, please review.

As you can see b2b49ccbdd54 is exactly 12 chars so there shouldn't be
an error report.

Also example git ID is wrong 01234567890ab (13 chars) should be
0123456789ab (12 chars).

thanks,
Daniel.
