Fixes tag: Fixes: 653e92a91 ("macb: add support for padding and fcs computation")
Has these problem(s):
	- SHA1 should be at least 12 digits long
	  Can be fixed by setting core.abbrev to 12 (or more) or (for git v2.11
	  or later) just making sure it is not set (or set to "auto").
	- Subject does not match target commit subject
	  Just use
		git log -1 --format='Fixes: %h ("%s")'
