I suspect this is referring to a mmotm patch right? There doesn't seem
to be any sha like this in Linus' tree AFAICS. If that is the case then
please note that mmotm patch showing up in linux-next do not have a
stable sha1 and therefore you shouldn't reference them in the commit
message. Instead please refer to the specific mmotm patch file so that
Andrew knows it should be folded in to it.
Thanks!
