A similar case in linux-next was discussed recently:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/syzkaller-bugs/xiSF9GdiikU/uBoyYyf3AQAJ
For such cases it can make more sense to use Tested-by tag instead of
Reported-by to not confuse people that the resulting amended patch
fixes some bug (e.g. stable will try to pick it up).  Tested-by is
also recognized by syzbot.
