Btw, after revisiting, I think Greg actually can pick up the first
version of the patch. Changing the above without adding the
code-block:node will reformat the

     [ Upstream commit <sha1> ]

differently when rendering to html.

Greg, so as the patch has not yet been commited, can you pick up the
first version from
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220809045543.2049293-1-carnil@xxxxxxxxxx/
?
