Subject: Re: [EXT] Re: [net PATCH] octeontx2: Fix klockwork and coverity
 issues

> [Suman] Yes, backporting to net was the intention. Do we need to put all the fixes tags? Because the fixes are from different commits.

When you break it up into multiple patches, the fixes-tag will get
simpler.

> Are there any generic submission steps for klockwork fixes?

Take a look at

https://docs.kernel.org/process/stable-kernel-rules.html

In particular, the "It must fix a real bug that bothers people".

Some issues found by static code tools don't actually bother
people. So you might want some patches to net-next, not net.
