If it's worth mentioning, maybe put it later? If put first, such information tends to pressure people to hurry and then they might miss something.
If you only mention it for the reviewers, not for the ages in the Git history, you can also put it in a comment on Gerrit.
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/74436/comment/bd25b6a6_bca9aef3 PS6, Line 10: that was caused by the API change in commit 36e6f9bc047f86e1628c8c41d3ac16d80fb344de. This patch removes the Please break lines before 72 chars.
Please don't make reviewers bikeshed such things when everybody is in a hurry because something needs to be fixed. It only brings people into an awkward position (lowering their standards or slowing a fix down, what should it be?).

Is that ok?
Absolutely not, you didn't even take the time to break your lines. Please don't trial review by error (trying things until the reviewer agrees). It's very exhausting for reviewers. Writing a good commit message is a courtesy to our future selves, including yours, and other community members. If one of us reads this commit in two weeks, it shouldn't take more than a few seconds to see that everything is alright. And that's best achieved with a commit message that explains the whole thing.
