[Severity: Low]
Since this fixes the unsigned subtraction underflow in cdc_ncm_ndp16() and
cdc_ncm_ndp32(), should the commit message include these Fixes: tags?
Fixes: c78b7c586657 ("net: cdc_ncm: refactoring for tx multiplexing")
Fixes: 0fa81b304a79 ("cdc_ncm: Implement the 32-bit version of NCM Transfer Block")
