Yes, I do see your FIX tag in patchwork:
[ 31] [FIX] brcmfmac: fix reporting support for 160 MHz channels 2018-11-08
But "FIX" is a bit ambigous as not all fixes not go to wireless-drivers,
they can also go to wireless-drivers-next. So I prefer using the release
number (or name of the tree) like this:
[PATCH 4.20] brcmfmac: fix reporting support for 160 MHz channels
After seeing your question I added something about this to the wiki
which hopefully helps others:
