That'd usually be abbreviated as:
Commit 02464e386bb5 "fdt: add new fdt address parsing functions".
Of course, if you want to shame me that's justified too:-) Tracking down
regressions sucks:-(

"are equal to" should be "is at least"; the purpose of that rework was
to support values greater than one.

Sorry about that. This patch,
Acked-by: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>
(but not tested, but since this allows a previously failing case, it's
hard to see how this patch could cause any problems.)
