I would say that your commit extends ixgbe functionality, and is not a
bugfix. For such cases you should avoid Fixes: tag (just mentioning
commit "that introduced the code/ndo" is fine). With that, you could
also specify the tree as "iwl-next", what will also clarify that you
want Intel VAL to process this patch prior to application.

code looks fine,
