Not only the SHA, the whole commit message is taken from c2a6bbaf0c. But
the diff below is fdad4e7a876a2.

To clarify: upstream c2a6bbaf0c is in 4.4.80 already (as f4a42f8492).
The diff below is a fix for it with upstream SHA fdad4e7a876a2 (in 4.4
as 1fe277d48f). So the code is correct, unlike meta data.
