I think it's still correct to add:
Fixes: a6fc3b698130 ("soc: fsl: add GUTS driver for QorIQ platforms")
That is where the bug was introduced, and adding the tag creates a link
between the fix and the bug, which is what we want.
The fact that it also requires the revert in order to apply is kind of
orthogonal, it means an automated backport of this commit will probably
fail, but that's OK it just means someone might have to do it manually.
There is some use of "Depends-on:" to flag a commit that is depended on,
but you can't use that in a patch submission because you don't know the
SHA of the parent commit.
Possibly whoever applies this can add a Depends-on: pointing to patch 1.
