When I sent V1 I stripped the fixes tags given that I know this is not an
actual bug fix but rather a missing feature, You asked me to add Fixes
tags when you know this is targeting net-next, and I complied in V2.

About Fixes tags strict policy in net-next, it was always a controversy,
I thought you changed your mind, since you explicitly asked me to add the
Fixes tags to a series targeting net-next.

I will submit V3, with Fixes tags removed, Please accept it since Leon 
and I agree that this is not a high priority bug fix that needs to be
addressed in -rc7 as Leon already explained.

Thanks,
Saeed.
