Hi all,

Fixes tag

   Fixes: 75388acd0cd8 ("add mac80211-based driver for legacy BCM43xx devices")

has these problem(s):

   - Subject does not match target commit subject
     Just use
	git log -1 --format='Fixes: %h ("%s")'

Stephan,

I do not understand what you want here. The subject describes what was fixed. 
The error has been in the driver since it was merged. The Fixes: line is a 
description of the commit that introduced the driver file with the error.
