They are normally prefixed with "arm64: dts:" or "ARM: dts:" for 32 bit SoCs. That also normally the way I detect patches which should through my tree. Anyway I'll try to remember submitters in the future to send DTS patches for network devices as separate series. That makes my life a bit more complicated as I afterwards have to find the related DTS series to the driver you accepted, but I'll try. Regards, Matthias
