netdev maintainers: Jiri marked this with Reviewed-by, but was this review
what caused "Changes Requested" to be the status set for this patch set in
patchwork?

If needed, I'll send a v7 with the changes Jiri suggested and add the
"Reviewed-by" since the changes are cosmetic, but I wanted to make sure
this was the reason.

Thanks.
