The fixes tag should go before your sign-off. So something like:

Subject: eth: lan743x: reject extts for non-pci11x1x devices

Remove PTP_PF_EXTTS support for non-PCI11x1x devices since they do not
support the PTP-IO Input event triggered timestamping mechanisms
added [...]

Fixes: 60942c397af6 ("Add support for PTP-IO Event Input External  Timestamp (extts)")
