Sorry, Coiby. It could be late yesterday so I was dizzy when writing
down the comment, I didn't make my concern clear. What I meant is
the referenced commit in log should be taken in a standard format.
Abstracted one paragraph of Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst
here. We usually take the first 12 characters of the commit SHA-1 ID
in log, but not the whole of them.

=====
If you want to refer to a specific commit, don't just refer to the
SHA-1 ID of the commit. Please also include the oneline summary of
the commit, to make it easier for reviewers to know what it is about.
Example::

        Commit e21d2170f36602ae2708 ("video: remove unnecessary
        platform_set_drvdata()") removed the unnecessary
        platform_set_drvdata(), but left the variable "dev" unused,
        delete it.
=====

And the right parenthesis enclousing the commit subject is missing.
