Yeah, it's hard to keep track of submissions sometimes, especially if
not updating the whole series.

Ok, I can't keep track of this either. I just noticed that this patch
shows up in both net (for 5.14):

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/commit/?id=a6ecfb39ba9d7316057cea823b196b734f6b18ca

and net-next (for 5.15):

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next.git/commit/?id=788e67f18d797abbd48a96143511261f4f3b4f21

The net one was applied on the 15th and the net-next one yesterday.

Judging from a quick look it appears to be the same diff so no damage
done.
