Yeah, we don't take checkpatch too seriously - only when it makes sense
to a human brain. Roughly speaking. In this case, the logic should be,
the commit which is the culprit should be visible immediately.

Although after the Fixes: tag thing got introduced, that argument is not
as important anymore, I'd say.

As to the formatting, I think adding this to your git config helps in
that regard:

[alias]
	...
        one = show -s --pretty='format:%h (\"%s\")'

so that you can do:

$ git one 368a540e0232
368a540e0232 ("x86/kvmclock: Remove memblock dependency")
