I disregarded this warning as it looks redundant to me, given that the
full commit quote is already given in the Fixes: tag below.

In this specific case, I guess it doesn't really make a difference, but
sometimes one needs to mention the same commit multiple times in the
actual message, and while checkpatch would complain about every single
instance, I think that providing the full quote for each of them isn't
very useful and hinders readability.
