Pointing the commit like that is probable fine, but you should also
use "Fixes" tag:

Fixes: 942a48730faf ("usb: misc: legousbtower: Fix buffers on stack")

Please check Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for more
information.

You are signing the patch for me which you should not be doing in this
case. More appropriate tag would be for example "Suggested-by" or
something like that. There is more information about this too in
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst
