Please put the first paragraph about the commit 57d0557dfa49 here now that 
you've state what the problem/bug is first. You can make them to be one 
joined paragraph.

We avoid phrases like "This patch ...", so start with "Add a quirk ..."
Also, this should be before "Fan access ..." sentence to make this 
description more logical (again make them to be part of a same paragraph).

I'd prefer these tags to be in this order:

Reported-by:
Fixes:
Closes:
Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org

ss it's a bit more logical.

Did these two person either give you those Tested-by tags or gave 
you green light to add theirs Tested-by tags? I don't see the tags given 
in the bugzilla entry. If they didn't yet, please ask if they're fine with 
you adding their Tested-by tags.

In kernel development, in general, we're more than happy credit people who 
invested their time in testing changes but that being said, we don't 
invent Tested-by tags just from the fact that we know somebody has tested 
a patch.

When respinning v3, please remember to add Kurt's Reviewed-by tag too as 
maintainer's tools only automatically collect them for the most recent 
version so when sending the next version, you need to add them into the 
submission.

The code change itself looks fine.
