I would recommend removing these and just setting those values via git
send-email flags. In other words:

git send-email --to "..." --cc "..." --cc "..." <path to .patch>

and so on. It can cause a lot of spam if this patch is ever backported
or needed in other trees.

This should be simplified to:

Fixes: 50291652af52 ("ASoC: atmel: mchp-pdmc: add PDMC driver")

I don't think the automated checkers will complain about that but the
short form is preferred.

Thanks a lot for the patch!

Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>

I don't know if those nits are worth resending but I do not see this
applied to Mark's tree yet. It might have gotten lost because this was
sent as a reply to the build report, rather than its own thread, which
has caused issues for me in the past:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210903162639.GM4932@sirena.org.uk/

If there is no action on this patch in the next couple of days, please
consider resending with the above nits addressed with Codrin's tag and
my tag.
