I think it's still fair for the lkp folks to get *some* credit for
reporting these bugs.  I mean, the stated reason[1] for it existing is:

The Reported-by tag gives credit to people who find bugs and
report them and it hopefully inspires them to help us again in
the future.

I do agree, though, that it's confusing *what* they reported, especially
if the patch in question is fixing something *else*. Rather than invent
a new tag, maybe a comment would suffice:

Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> # bug in earlier revision
