Hi Anderson

A few process things.  

In the subject line, you should put v2, since this is the second
version.

Also, in the subject line, indicate which tree it is for. I would say
in this case, it is net, since it is a fix. So the subject should be

[PATCH v2 net] mv88e6060: disable hardware level MAC learning

Under the --- you should indicate what changed between each version.
