Please fix up several issues with this submission:

1) Bug fixes should target the 'net' GIT tree.  Anything else, and this
   means cleanups, new features, and optimizations, should all target
   the 'net-next' GIT tree.

2) Your subject lines are too much, for example:

   [net: ethernet: stmmac: some fixes and optimizations 1/5] net: ethernet: stmmac: Add support for syscfg clock

   The "net: ethernet: stmmac: some fixes and optimizations" part
   should be completely removed.  'net' should be separate to indicate
   the target GIT tree (or 'net-next' as could be the case) and then
   we're left with, for example:

   [PATCH net-next 1/5] net: ethernet: stmmac: Add support for syscfg clock

3) There should be a seprate series with the bug fixes targetting 'net',
   then you should wait for those fixes to propagate into 'net-next', at which
   time you can submit a second patch series targetting 'net-next' with all
   the cleanups, feature additions, and optimizations.

Thank you.
