Hi,

The patch-set has been marked as "Deffered" in Patchwork.
Presumably by Paolo in conjunction with his response above.
As such the patch-set needs to be (rebased and) reposted in
order for it to be considered by the maintainers again.

I think the best practice is for this to happen _after_ one
of the maintainers has sent an "ANN" email announcing that
net-next has re-opened. I don't believe that has happened yet.

Thanks!
