Since this is a fix the subject should say net instead of net-next.
[PATCH net v2] for the next revision.

Hm, yes, that seems like the best of the available options.

This looks error prone. We still need to maintain the types in multiple
places. How about we use the policy to decide the type? Something along
the lines of (untested):
