The subject I was referring to is the subject quoted in the Fixes tag,
not the subject of the fixing commit. So:

Fixes: 75388acd0cd8 ("[B43LEGACY]: add mac80211-based driver for legacy BCM43xx devices")

Its not very important, just a consistency thing - I wouldn't bother
rebasing just to fix this, just for the future ...
