Subject: stable_kernel_rules: Add pointer to netdev-FAQ for network patches
From: Dave Chiluk <[email protected]>
commit b76fc285337b6b256e9ba20a40cfd043f70c27af upstream.
Stable_kernel_rules should point submitters of network stable patches to the
netdev_FAQ.txt as requests for stable network patches should go to netdev
first.
