Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/2] net: atlantic: make some symbol & function static

You need to start properly marking your Subject lines with the target
tree your changes are indended to go into.

In this case, the code you are patching only exists in "net-next".

How in the world is a maintainer supposed to know this when reading
your changes?  You don't even bother providing Fixes: tags which
mark the commit that introduced the code being marked static either.
