Normally, I would have added one but this issue has been present since
the beginning of git history. According to Thomas Gleixner's pre-git
history tree, it would be:

Fixes: 7df80b4c8964 ("MTD core include and device code cleanup")

but since that hash doesn't exist in the normal git history, I don't
think it is worth adding. Of course, if the maintainers want to add it,
I won't object.
