Subject: Re: [net-next,v4 0/2] ravb: Support describing the MDIO bus

Hi netdev,

This series was marked as Deferred in patchwork. I just wonder why that 
is? Patch 1/2 touches bindings so it could go thru the Renesas tree but 
patch 2/2 touches the driver and depends on 1/2. Should not this whole 
series go thru net-next?

I fear it might have been flagged as Deferred as v3 was posted on the 
same day net-next closed and was therefore closed as Deferred.
