What is the git commit id of it in Linus's tree?

To make it a tag you should avoid blank lines in the tag block.

Actually not. See above.

And what about the  rest of the comments?

You're welcome!

This seems needs to be in your Git config:

$ cat ~/.gitconfig

[PATCH v2] serial: 8250: Preserve original value of DLF register

[Ruihong Luo]

This commit is aimed at preserving the original value of the
DLF(Divisor Latch Fraction Register). When the DLF register is
modified without preservation, it can disrupt the baudrate settings
established by firmware or bootloader , leading to data corruption
and the generation of unreadable or distorted characters.

It's a v3 and still some comments are not (yet) addressed:
1) your from header in email != SoB;
2) do not use In-reply-to email header for the new patch versions;
3) the commit message should be amended as I pointed out above again.

It will go nowhere if you continue ignoring reviewers' comments.
