You say "fixes" in your Subject line but adding ipv6 smc
socket diag support is a feature not a fix.

Actually, generally speaking your patch submissions are
confusing.

You do submit really pure bug fixes, but for some odd
reason you target the net-next tree instead of net.

Maybe you have a good reason for doing this and you can
explain it to me?
