It should be at least 12 hex digits i.e. more is fine. It is possible
that some commits need more than 12 hex digits of the SHA1 to be
uniquely identified in some git repositories already. I guess
checkpatch needs a patch.

While we generally prefer that a patch only fix one bug, it is very
possible that the bug may have been introduced in more than one commit
e.g. in different files.
