I see, so it does not make sense to put Fixes: if it's not clearly
caused by the patch, the text description of the problem and references
to patches that could affect is OK.

Still the stable tag should reflect where the fix applies but 5.18
hasn't been released so either it's a typo or you know roughly which
stable kernels should get the fix (5.15, 5.10, etc).
