Hi Ankit,

Thanks for the update. Overall this seems good to me, however,
net-next is currently closed.

## Form letter - net-next-closed

The merge window for v6.19 has begun and therefore net-next has closed
for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations. We are
currently accepting bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens.

Due to a combination of the merge-window, travel commitments of the
maintainers, and the holiday season, net-next will re-open after
2nd January.

RFC patches sent for review only are welcome at any time.

See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/process/maintainer-netdev.html#development-cycle
