When in doubt I think it's preferrable to point out a commit surely
affected by the issue - even if that is possibly not the one
introducing the issue - than no Fixes as all. The lack of tag will make
more difficult the work for stable teams.

In this specific case I think that:

Fixes: 41f891004063 ("bonding: ignore updelay param when there is no active slave")

should be ok, WDYT? if you agree would you mind repost for -net?

Thanks,

Paolo
