Okay, so then your cherry picked statement should look like this:

(cherry picked from commit f561618d9b8019d3590950f19e2f75f9e20ed0c7
 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git)

or perhaps just (cherry picked from ... linux-next) since it's likely
the commit is also in linux-next. A sha1 by itself isn't useful, we also
need the repository it came from, and someone looking at the tree isn't
going to have the context of the cover letter. When you cherry pick it
from anywhere but Linus' tree you need to include that information.
