thank you for the change, however please note that the identified commit
for the fix is incorrect one apparently.

In my opinion the proper tag contents would be

Fixes: b4c3fcb3c71f ("misc: sram: extend usage of reserved partitions")

I hope you agree to it, also I would suggest to swap the changes in
the series.
