Oops! Apparently, I forgot to use checkpatch on the patchset:

$ scripts/checkpatch.pl /tmp/test.patch
WARNING: Please use correct Fixes: style 'Fixes: <12+ chars of sha1>
("<title line>")' - ie: 'Fixes: 05b7e10687c6 ("tools/rtla: Add

)'
#75:
Fixes: 05b7e10687c ("tools/rtla: Add remaining support for osnoise actions")

Ah, good to know! My setup is fine, the issue was that I have not used
git log --oneline, but regular git log, and counted the characters by
myself.

Thank you for catching this.
