How should extra long fixes like this be divided up ?
Just let them run on even if they are too long i.e. don't split them at all.
That's what's in the git commit log though isn't it ?
When you add a Fixes: tag to a commit, you quote the subject line of
the commit you are fixing which, by definition, is a single line. We
want to keep it that way so it can be searched for easily.
So to create a fixes line you can use this:
git log -1 --format='Fixes: %h ("%s")' <commit being fixed>
i.e. in this case:
$ git log -1 --format='Fixes: %h (\"%s\")' 40d133d7f5426
Fixes: 40d133d7f542 ("usb: gadget: f_ncm: convert to new function interface with backward compatibility")
