Firstly, these fixes commit hashes would not be stable as this series
has been applied to riscv/for-next [1]. But also, from this commit
onwards, things seem like stylistic comments that would be undeserving
of a Fixes: tag to begin with.
Perhaps you'd be better off suggesting these changes in response to the
original thread [2], so that it goes in "correctly" in the first place?
Andy has to re-submit anyway as there are a few bugs that crept in in
the most recent revision of his series.

Thanks,
Conor.
