That commit was breaking alignment guarantees for the DMA address when
allocating coherent mappings, as described in
Documentation/core-api/dma-api-howto.rst
It was also noticed by Mellanox' driver:

Should it be
Fixes: 3c0468d4451e ("powerpc/kernel/iommu: Align size for
IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE() to save TCEs")
?
I had been wondering the same... I can see many revert commits with and
without a "Fixes:" line. Since here the offending commit was merged in
the latest merge window, I was thinking Fixes doesn't really bring
anything, it will all stay internal to v5.13 development. I'd be happy
to hear of the expected way of handling it. I'm guessing a big part of
the answer is whether the tooling looking for a "Fixes" line is also
looking for reverts.
