I think we're following the intention of the rule, and as you've
identified it's the implementation of the rule checker that's unable
to handle a commit title with internal quotes.  We can ignore it, and
maybe follow up with a checkpatch.pl patch, or we could just avoid it
as follows:

    vfio_pci: Restore original state on release
    
    vfio_pci_enable() saves the device's initial configuration information
    with the intent that it is restored in vfio_pci_disable().  However,
    the commit referenced in Fixes: below replaced the call to
    __pci_reset_function_locked(), which is not wrapped in a state save
    and restore, with pci_try_reset_function(), which overwrites the
    restored device state with the current state before applying it to the
    device.  Reinstate use of __pci_reset_function_locked() to return to
    the desired behavior.

Thanks,
Alex
