Always refer to commits, not just by SHA ID, but also with the commit
header line text in parenthesis and double quotes, for this you'd say:
c194992cbe71c20bb3623a566af8d11b0bfaa721 ("skge: fix broken driver")
Using just the SHA ID is completely ambiguous, because the SHA ID will
be entirely different if this commit is added to a different tree, such
as -stable.
