If you look up "previous patch" in the Linux commit log, you will find
a considerable amount of patches which do this:

$ git log master | grep 'previous patch' | wc -l
3006

But you are right, if I apply this patch for example to fix an old
version of rtla that does not have timerlat-hist, the log will make no
sense. I will stop doing it.
