Hi Patrick,

This is not a full review, and as per the form letter below,
net-next is closed, so you'd be best to repost.
But I will offer some very minor review in the meantime.

Firstly, please seed the CC list for Networking patches
using get_maintainers.pl --git-min-percent 25 this.patch

Secondly, as noted inline, there are two cases of
mixed of tabs and spaces used for indenting in this patch.

## Form letter - net-next-closed

The merge window for v6.11 has begun and therefore 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 15th July

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

See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/process/maintainer-netdev.html#development-cycle

The line above puts a space before a tab in indentation.
This is already the case on the autoconf line, but let's not add another
instance.

Flagged by checkpatch.
