Ah, sorry, I was looking further down.  Yes, your change is correct -
it was missed in 03145864bd0fcac29e33442f39d67d4f28b0777c, so it needs
a fixes tag for that commit.  Probably missed by having patches hanging
around for soo long.

Fixes: 03145864bd0f ("sfp: support 1G BiDi (eg, FiberStore SFP-GE-BX) modules")
Acked-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@...linux.org.uk>

Thanks!
