Almost right, the format you use above is actually used to identify
dependencies for backports.

You should add a Fixes tag identifying the commit which introduced each
bug and a stable-cc tag. If you want you can indicate the version after
a # sign, but that can also be inferred from the fixes tag.

For the hci_ldisc fix I think the tags would be:

	Fixes: 2a973dfada2b ("Bluetooth: hci_uart: Add new line discipline enhancements")
	Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org>     # 4.2

You can use git blame to track down the offending commits.

This should all be explained here:
