Hi Manoj,
It would be great if you could familiarize yourself with the netdev process:
https://docs.kernel.org/process/maintainer-netdev.html#netdev-faq
For the Intel drivers, we follow the same guidelines other than we use
iwl-net|iwl-next rather than net|net-next respectively.

The bug fixes should be broken out and designated for iwl-net and the
others to iwl-next. Fix patches should include a Fixes: tag.
Also, please use RCT for networking patches (patch 1).
Thanks,
Tony
