Patch itself looks good to me, but currently net-next is closed.

I've looked at the maintainer docs:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/process/maintainer-netdev.rst

I'm unsure whether this needs to be resent to net now or wait for the
merge window to reopen. I think net is for fixes to code in mainline
linux, but the devmem TX path has not made it there yet (and is not
even in the net tree yet). My guess is that this patch should be
reposted to net-next once net-next reopens.
