I am stunned by what happened here. The timeline seems to be:

- On the 23rd of October, you sent a 9-patch series constituting v7.
- On the 25th of October, 4 of those patches were silently merged, as
  follows:

93aa731e6133 Merge branch 'dsa-microchip-WoL-support'
d264f24409b8 net: dsa: microchip: ksz9477: add Wake on LAN support
aed7425d6510 net: dsa: microchip: use wakeup-source DT property to enable PME output
4e1799ae84fc dt-bindings: net: dsa: microchip: add wakeup-source property
02e987f52cf0 net: dsa: microchip: Add missing MAC address register offset for ksz8863

 commit 93aa731e613399f5145166940b20224a8d116920
 Merge: e43e6d9582e0 d264f24409b8
 Author: David S. Miller <davem@...emloft.net>
 Date:   Wed Oct 25 08:47:33 2023 +0100

     Merge branch 'dsa-microchip-WoL-support'

with no further details as usual (cover letter becomes merge commit
message), no patchwork bot notification, nothing.

- Today you are sending the rest of 5 unmerged patches.
- In parallel, Colin Ian King has sent a fixup for a review comment on
  the first 4 patches from v7, which got silently applied without that
  comment being addressed.

So, given the circumstances, I see that you did the right thing. It's
just that I'm starting to understand less and less of what the rules are
supposed to be.
