Good catch, indeed!

Is this intentionally discussed off-list?
For consideration by netdev maintainers this will have to be re-
submitted with a [PATCH net] prefix to the netdev mailing list.

Also, I'd prefer, if you could find a more descriptive subject. How
about: "Fix search in list of known pnetids"? However, if you want to
keep the subject please replace "comparation" with "comparison"

Thank you,
