drm-intel.git Committers: Reminder about tagging bugfixes

[Daniel Vetter]

Hi all,

Apparently this wasn't known to everyone, hence this small reminder
about correctly tagging bugfixes when pushing them:
- add a Bugzilla: or References: link for any bug reported anywhere
(bugzilla or mailing list). Also add Reported-by:/Tested-by: for
credits.
- add Fixes: if it's a regression fix. Run "dim fixes $sha1" for
convenience, to generate this correctly
- add correct Cc: tags, Cc: stable for backporting to all kernels
(including -rc), Cc: drm-intel-fixes if it's only needed in current
-rc series.

Special note about pre-production hw: We only backport fixes when the
prelim_hw_support tag is lifted, before that point we don't bother.
But after that _all_ bugfixes need one of the above tags, and right
now both kbl and apl/bxt aren't preliminary any more!

For full details see the docs:
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/gfx-docs/maintainer-tools/drm-intel.html
If you haven't read them in a while would be good to check them out
again, quite a few improvements and clarifications over the past few
months.

Thanks, Daniel

FWIW, greping git logs says we should prefer "Reference:" over
"References:".

BR,
