Indeed I was not sure which version this patch was merged, so I ran,

v5.2-rc4-245-g89e0341af082
It seems I use git in an incorrect way. After check man git-describe I
see '--contains' should be added (to find a tag which after/contains the
commit),
> git describe --contains 89e0341af082
v5.3-rc1~164^2~57
Yes, the fixing bug is from v5.3-rc1. Please ignore the noise....
Thanks.
