You need to run the patch thru scripts/get_maintainer,
here you missed CCing Naveen, who authored 967db3529eca.
Also lcherian@...vell.com and jerinj@...vell.com
LMK if these people are no longer at marvell, I can add their
addresses to our ignore list.

Same goes for the pauseparam patch, you'll need to repost the two.
