Technically it's not CCing stable and so it's not really incorrect.
...but I agree that this is a bit of a stretch to call it a "Fix".
Maybe drop the "Fixes" line?

I think the fact that you skipped the reference to commit c9e358dfc4a8
("driver-core: remove conditionals around devicetree pointers") was
relevant here. Referencing that commit makes it easy for the reader to
see that you are following convention used throughout the kernel and
not just asserting your own opinion about style.
If you add that reference into your commit message and send a v2, I'm
happy to apply it.
