The bug was introduced by ea89098ef9a5.
609070133aff1 is only requirement for this fix, but Fixes tag should reference
the commit which introduced the bug, afaik.

So it should be 

Fixes: ea89098ef9a5 ("net: dsa: mv88x6xxx: mv88e6390 errata")
Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org # 609070133aff ("net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: update code operating on hidden registers")
