Thanks.

Sure! So far I've just been blindly following
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt, and besides the "Cc:
stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" it doesn't say anything else of what you're
suggesting below.

What should this link point to?

Ok. But this is not described in Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt.
> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v3.10+
The Cc: to stable@ is documented, but the use of a comment with the
kernel version afterwards is only mentioned when the commit in question
requires other commits as dependencies to be applied to stable. When
the commit is self-sufficient, stable_kernel_rules.txt doesn't indicate
that a comment is needed.
Maybe an update to stable_kernel_rules.txt is in order? :-)
Thanks again!
