This tag afaics should be in some or all of the commits -- together with
a Link: or Closes: tag to the report
(https://lore.kernel.org/v9fs/ZK25XZ%2BGpR3KHIB%2F@pengutronix.de/ ).

'Fixes:' tags would seem appropriate here as well. And to get this fixed
in Linux 6.4.y. a "Cc: <stable..." would be great as well.

See Documentation/handling-regressions.rst (
https://docs.kernel.org/process/handling-regressions.html ) and the
links to Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst or
Documentation/process/5.Posting.rst for details.
