Looks good, but I think the recommended style for commit ids is not to
use ' chararacter. So I would change it to this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Commit b102f0c522cf6 ("mt76: fix array overflow on receiving too many
fragments for a packet") fixes a possible OOB access but it introduces a
memory leak since the pending frame is not released to page_frag_cache
if the frag array of skb_shared_info is full. Commit 93a1d4791c10
("mt76: dma: fix a possible memory leak in mt76_add_fragment()") fixes
the issue but does not free the truncated skb that is forwarded to
mac80211 layer. Fix the leftover issue discarding even truncated skbs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Should I add that to the commit log and queue the patch to be applied
after the merge window opens?
