I missed it since you left an empty line above the Signed-off-by,
apologies.

You can omit the kernel version since it will be inferred from the
Fixes: tag. If this patch does not apply cleanly to v4.19 you will
be asked to backport it.

Please note: the CC tag above does not mean that you should have
stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in the email CC list for the patch, so please
make sure you do NOT have stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in the email CC headers
while posting a v2, it will confuse stable maintainers.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
