If this is a backport of an upstream patch you must mention the commit
ID at the top. After

For instance, here is a random commit from v5.15.y branch for stable:

bpf: Add selftests to cover packet access corner cases
        
commit b560b21f71eb4ef9dfc7c8ec1d0e4d7f9aa54b51 upstream.

<the upstream commit log>

If you make modifications to the patch to apply to v5.4.y which
otherwise would let the patch apply you need to specify that in
the commit log, you could do that after your signed-off-by, for
instance you can:

Signed-off-by: Mirsad Todorovac <mirsad.todorovac@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[made some x, y and z changes to ensure it applies to v5.4.y]

If this is a new commit for a fix not yet merged on Linus tree
then your description quoted above does not make it clear.
