Suraj,

The fixes tag needs to be where the issue originated, not
where you discovered it (which I'm guessing was using 6.12-rc7).

Here's how I find the tag:

$ git blame drivers/acpi/nfit/core.c | grep call_pkg | grep buf
ebe9f6f19d80d drivers/acpi/nfit/core.c (Dan Williams       2019-02-07 14:56:50 -0800  458) 		call_pkg = buf;

$ git log -1 --pretty=fixes ebe9f6f19d80d
Fixes: ebe9f6f19d80 ("acpi/nfit: Fix bus command validation")

I think ^ should be your Fixes tag.
