Thanks, I see it as a264b981f2c76e281ef27e7232774bf6c54ec865 in net.git
(i.e.
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=a264b981f2c76e281ef27e7232774bf6c54ec865)

You missed to take the

	Acked-and-tested-by: Fugang Duan <B38611@freescale.com>

. If you want to fix that, you can do:

	git filter-branch --msg-filter 'if test $GIT_COMMIT = a264b981f2c76e281ef27e7232774bf6c54ec865; then sed "/David/ i Acked-and-tested-by: Fugang Duan <B38611@freescale.com>"; else cat; fi' a264b981f2c76e281^..

on your master branch to add it to that commit.

Best regards
Uwe
