Ick that's hard to read. Going with a bit longer line is better:
6db6f0eae6052b70885562e1733896647ec1d807 "bridge: multicast to unicast"
e9156cd26a495a18706e796f02a81fee41ec14f4 "smsc95xx: Use skb_cow_head to deal with cloned skbs"
6bc6895bdd6744e0136eaa4a11fbdb20a7db4e40 "ch9200: use skb_cow_head() to deal with cloned skbs"
39fba7835aacda65284a86e611774cbba71dac20 "kaweth: use skb_cow_head() to deal with cloned skbs"
854826c9d526fd81077742c3b000e3f7fcaef3ce "ubifs: Drop softlimit and delta fields from struct ubifs_wbuf"
1b7fc2c0069f3864a3dda15430b7aded31c0bfcc "ubifs: Use dirty_writeback_interval value for wbuf timer"
cd4b1e34655d46950c065d9284b596cd8d7b28cd "usb: dwc2: Remove unnecessary kfree"
10596608c4d62cb8c1c2b806debcbd32fe657e7 "netfilter: nf_tables: fix mismatch in big-endian system"
65cab850f0eeaa9180bd2e10a231964f33743edf "net: Allow class-e address assignment via ifconfig ioctl"
6926e041a8920c8ec27e4e155efa760aa01551fd "uapi/if_ether.h: prevent redefinition of struct ethhdr"
Or better yet, use the "standard" way we reference ids in the kernel:
6db6f0eae605 ("bridge: multicast to unicast")
e9156cd26a49 ("smsc95xx: Use skb_cow_head to deal with cloned skbs")
...
Anyway, I need those ids in the patches themselves, as we do for all
stable patches (look at how they look in the stable trees for examples).
Also, some of these are in kernels newer than 4.14, so if I were to
apply them to 4.9 only, someone moving to a newer kernel would have a
regression, which isn't ok.
65cab850f0ee ("net: Allow class-e address assignment via ifconfig
ioctl") is one such example of that type of patch.
So I can't take these as-is, sorry.
