True. I can include a snippet of dmesg to the commit message.

Good and valid point. The way I see it, the tags should be:
Reported-by: Haitao Huang <haitao.hu...@linux.intel.com>
Suggested-by: Sean Christopherson <sea...@google.com>
Haitao pointed out the bug but from your analysis I could resolve that
this is the fix to implement, and was able to write the long
description for the commit.
Does this make sense to you?
