Jiawen Wu (3):
   net: txgbe: add IO address in I2C platform device data
   i2c: designware: add device private data passing to lock functions
   i2c: designware: support hardware lock for Wangxun 10Gb NIC

I was wondering the Fixes tag use in the series. Obviously patchset is not fixing a regression so question is what happens when issue occurs?

I don't think e.g. failing I2C transfer with an error code yet qualifies backporting into Linux stable?
