Yeah. I'm aware of that. The thing is that you don't appear
as a maintainer of this file:

$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nokeywords --nogit --nogit-fallback -f drivers/atm/iphase.c
Chas Williams <3chas3@...il.com> (maintainer:ATM)
linux-atm-general@...ts.sourceforge.net (moderated list:ATM)
netdev@...r.kernel.org (open list:ATM)
linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org (open list)

so, I didn't know this patch would be applied to net.

Thanks
