Please use a "fixes" (vs "fix") tag here, a few folks have automation
around this. It should look something like this:

Fixes: commit 9aae1780e7e8 ("perf/x86/intel/uncore: Clean up client IMC uncore")

Also, if you intend for this to go in stable trees, please add a stable
tag rather than just cc it to the stable mailing list. Something like
this:

Cc: stable@kernel.org
