Where are these git commit ids from?  I don't see them in Linus's tree,
how are they supposed to be picked up by the stable developers if they
are not valid ones?

confused,

...

I wrongly assumed that, for example, this patch had, as a prerequisite,
all the patches before it in this series, and that is why I listed
them.

The problem, as I understand it, is not that you listed them (how else
will the backporter know that this patch requires something else?) but
the format (you used wrong SHA-1 sums).

...

So I will remove them all, since this patch doesn't have any other
requisites other than the previous patches in this series.

Maybe it would be good to add some notes about that in
stable-kernel-rules.rst?

This probably is a good idea. Briefly looking at it I see no examples
like yours there.
