Not sure if I missed something in QEMU land, but those are usually listed more like

Fixes: 0694dabe97 ("hw/ssi: Add SiFive SPI controller support")

MST suggested once to try to restrict the 'Fixes:' tag to bug /
regressions, as it might help downstream distributions to filter
commits to cherry-pick.

Since it might be useful to have the offending commit sha1 in the
description, when it is simply an omission or improvement I use
the an inline form instead of a tag:

  Fixes the typo introduced in commit 0694dabe97 ("hw/ssi: Add SiFive
  SPI controller support").

Although in this particular use-case it is not really useful ;)

Another example:

  When adding <the feature> in commit <sha1 ("<subject>")>, we forgot
  to fill the API prototype description. Do it now.

Regards,

Phil.
