Based on stable-kernel-rules.html document I think that following line
should define this dependency in machine readable format:
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # a2c7023f7075c: dsa: read mac address
Gregory, if it is correct, would you add that line into commit sign-off
area where is existing Fixes: line?
