This SOB chain, while valid, is a hodgepodge with no rhyme and reason:

  Fixes: 397ad94668c1 ("arm64: dts: qcom: sm8150: Add pdc interrupt controller node")

Besides the ordering, people in the SOB chain should not have a separate
Reviewed-by tag: *of course* anyone who forwards a patch with a SOB has
reviewed it, it's basically implicit.

So the tags should be something like:

  Fixes: 397ad94668c1 ("arm64: dts: qcom: sm8150: Add pdc interrupt controller node")

Ie. we generally sort the tags not chronologically (or whatever the original idea
was), but group them topically, sort the groups by importance, and only within
the group is there chronological order.

Thanks,
