ok, things which usually help are:

'git log -SLPM -- drivers/usb/gadget/composite.c'
	this will help you find commits which have the string LPM in
	their body and touch drivers/usb/gadget/composite.c

'git describe'
	this will tell you when a commit was merged. Keep in mind that a
	commit reaches a maintainer tree before Linus tags something, so
	if git describe says: v3.0-rc3-212-gfoobar, that means commit
	reaches mainline during v3.1 merge window.

Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
	This tells what a stable patch should look like

'git remote add stable \
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git \
	&& git fetch stable && git log stable/linux-3.14.y'

	This would help you see actual commits in a stable tree so you
	can mimic the format.

cheers
