Indeed. Use [PATCH net] then.
Please refer to https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt

First, people may have changed mail addresses (especially maintainers)
and that is picked by get_maintainer.

Second, other people may have worked on this driver since the patch was
introduced and they might want to know about this change too and have
their word on it. This is what happened with this driver. Gustavo and
Heiner sent patches since then and they have already been merged.

This is also part of the contribution process which is defined here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.17/process/submitting-patches.html

You have not answered my question yet. Does this fix your issue, yes or
no?

Quentin
