Sorry, the prefix is a confusing one. Here "iwl" is Intel Wired LAN, not iwlwifi. It is the prefix the Intel ethernet maintainers use for their next-queue tree, the one in MAINTAINERS under INTEL ETHERNET DRIVERS: L: [email protected] (moderated for non-subscribers) T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/next-queue.git Intel's own developers tag patches for that tree the same way; recent examples on the list are the ice, idpf, ixd and libie series, all [PATCH iwl-next]. Since these four patches only touch drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ and its documentation, they go through that tree rather than straight to net-next. So I think iwl-next is right here, but Tony and Przemek should correct me if they would rather have them another way. Thanks for looking. Hemanth
