Hi Sricharan,

if these are fixes then they should be targeted at 'net' rather than
'net-next', and consideration should be given to supplying Fixes tags.

If these are not fixes, then please don't describe them as such.
In this case targeting net-next is correct, but it is currently closed,
as per the form letter below.

In either case please consider:

* Arranging local variables for new Networking code in
  reverse xmas tree order - longest line to shortest

* Avoiding introducing new Sparse warnings

## Form letter - net-next-closed

The merge window for v6.6 has begun and therefore net-next is closed
for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations.
We are currently accepting bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens after Sept 11th.

RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.
