Tested-on is not an official upstream tag but is an ath-specific tag. There
should be a blank line separating this tag from the official tags.

No need to repost for this, I can fix it in my tree.

If this issue is masked then IMO we don't need to backport to LTS kernels and
hence should drop the fixes tag or add Cc: <stable+noautosel at kernel.org>
