Neither of these commits introduced an issue that is fixed by this
patch, rather this patch relies on these commits to not (re-)introduce
an issue.

I don't think a 'Fixes' tag is needed for this patch. If anything it
fixes the same issue as commit 048eb908a1f2 ("soc: qcom-geni-se:
Add interconnect support to fix earlycon crash"), which doesn't
have such a tag.
