okay, so according to git describe:

$ git describe e73a989
v3.0-rc2-22-ge73a9891b3a1

this entered mainline on v3.1. This means you need to add:

Fixes: e73a989 ("usb: renesas_usbhs: add DMAEngine support")
Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # v3.1+

to your commit log, right before your Signed-off-by.

okay, so I'll queue this once v4.6-rc1 is merged. But please resend with
the changes above. Let me know if you need any further clarification.
