I'd take it one step further and remove both 'Fixes' tags. A 'Fixes'
tag implies a flaw in the functionality of the code, this is just a
function rename.
Another important thing to keep in mind about 'Fixes' tags, unless
you've told the stable kernel folks to only take patches that you've
explicitly marked for stable, they are likely going to attempt to
backport anything with a 'Fixes' tag.
Regardless, since I was looking at 1/2 I took a quick look at this
patch and it looks fine to me once the comments have been
incorporated.
