In the future, please try to track down the commits introducing the bugs
you fix. That will help not only reviewers, but also the stable
maintainers.

In this case you could have added:

Fixes: 52feb444a903 ("NFC: Extend netlink interface for LTO, RW, and MIUX parameters support")
Fixes: d9b8d8e19b07 ("NFC: llcp: Service Name Lookup netlink interface")
