[Under the assumption Tariq is still handling the mlx5 tree, and patches
from 3rd party contributors are supposed to land directly into the
net/net-next tree]

@Caleb: please include the target tree ('net-next') into the subj
prefix. More importantly:

## Form letter - net-next-closed

The merge window for v6.13 has begun and 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 Dec 2nd.

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