Maybe I am missing something.
I like cleaner interfaces, but if it is a report of a problem then
I do not understand what the problem is.
IOW, what does "This is not right" mean?

I did not understand why you claim that the tags are or not necessary.
The dependency is due to removal of the fsnotify.h include.
Anyway, I don't think it is critical to backport this fix.
The dependencies would probably fail to apply cleanly to older kernels,
so unless somebody cares, it would stay this way.

Because I am not sure what the problem is, I am not sure that a Fixes:
tag is called for.

These need to be in the commit message in case AUTOSEL or a developer
would decide to backport your change.
Thanks,
