Please find and add below details as well, they are helpful in fixing
the stable kernels.

Fixes: 5130802ddbb1 ("thermal: cpu_cooling: Switch to QoS requests for freq limits")

Now that you are going to resend it anyways, drop this blank line as
well and mention that in the commit log.

Good catch Zhuguangqing. Thanks.
