It's strange to put a patch for net and one for net-next in the same
series. Nobody will keep a note for you to apply the second patch after
net has been merged back into net-next. So if you want to keep the
two-patch approach, you'd have to send just the "net" patch now, and the
"net-next" patch later.
But is there any reason why you don't just apply the second patch to
"net"?
