No need to put a version number in a comment, they do not track well
when people backport changes all over the place in other kernel trees.

If you want to refer to a commit, please do so in the documented way.

For this case, that would be:
	ea2f0f77538c ("scsi: core: Cap scsi_host cmd_per_lun at can_queue")
