This will conflict with the other patch.... why didn't you send both as
part of a series? By not doing that, you are telling patchwork to
build-test them in parallel, which of course does not work:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210916012341.518512-1-colin.foster@in-advantage.com/

Also, why didn't you bump the version counter of the patch, and we're
still at v1 despite the earlier attempt?

git format-patch -2 --cover-letter --subject-prefix="PATCH v3 net" -o /opt/patches/linux/ocelot-phylink-fixes/v3/
./scripts/get_maintainer.pl /opt/patches/linux/ocelot-phylink-fixes/v3/*.patch
./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict /opt/patches/linux/ocelot-phylink-fixes/v3/*.patch
# Go through patches, write change log compared to v2 using vimdiff, meld, git range-diff, whatever
# Write cover letter summarizing what changes and why. If fixing bugs explain the impact.
