What's the purpose of that link?
I think you want to make a reference to the commit 0c8ee850572b ("usb:
typec: ucsi: Add UCSI_USB4_IMPLIES_USB quirk for X1E80100"), right?
Is this meant to fix that commit? If so, then please use a proper
"Fixes: 0c8ee850572b ("usb: typec: ucsi: Add UCSI_USB4_IMPLIES_USB
quirk for X1E80100")" tag.
Thanks,
