I'm unsure on the plan for merging this.  But it seems to me that the first
two patches ought to go though net-next. But in order for patches to
proceed through net-next the entire series ought to apply on that tree - so
CI can run.

I'm not sure on the way forward.  But perhaps splitting the series in two:
the first two patches for net-next; and, the riscv patches targeted elsewhere
makes sense?
