I don't know where this commit ID is.  Since this patch is targetting
net-next I would expect a commit ID with not context to be in that
tree.  Please always specify where the commit ID you mention is.

Futhermore, commits in net-next are permanent so it is not possible
afterwards to "merge this patch with commit X".
