Applied, but please provide a more suitable subject line next time.

Subject lines should, after "[PATCH net]" should have an appropriate
prefix followed by a colon and a space.

Here, that would be "stmmac: "

Also, your Subject line is exceedingly long, try to keep it down to
80 columns.  I edited it to be:

stmmac: Fix incorrect spinlock release and PTP cap detection.
