All true. I added the Fixes tag only because if I didn't then
somebody would question why the tag is missing :)

I often look at "Fixes:" as "Strongly-related-to:".
We might backport these patches to older kernels way before 6.15
is released, so having a documented way to strongly connect patches
is a good thing.

Thanks for the reviews everyone.
