Put that commit onto a separate line:

"... which prior to

  42a0bb3f7138 ("printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI")

were unsafe ..."

This way it is immediately visible.

In any case, this patch looks like a cleanup so move it to the beginning
of the queue, I'd say.

Btw, checkpatch complains here:

WARNING: Prefer printk_ratelimited or pr_<level>_ratelimited to printk_ratelimit
#57: FILE: drivers/acpi/apei/ghes.c:312:
+               if (printk_ratelimit())

WARNING: Prefer printk_ratelimited or pr_<level>_ratelimited to printk_ratelimit
