No, davem will handle that.

That is, assuming that you had posted this to netdev in the first
place... Sorry, I just assumed you did without verifying it when I
replied. You will have to repost the patch to the appropriate
recepients. Use

scripts/get_maintainer.pl drivers/net/usb/cdc_ncm.c

for that. Feel free to include my Reviewed-by tag. And if you mark the
patch for "stable" somewhere outside the commit message, then davem will
pick that up and add it to his stable queue in patchwork. I don't know
if there is any officially documented way to do this, but a "stable" tag
inside the [] brackets in the subject, or a comment below the --- marker,
usually works fine.

Note that the "Cc: stable..." method isn't used for netdev patches. See
