Sergey identified these as bugfixes in the following emails:
  https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/a364963f-4e4f-dba5-cb59-b2125c14e8fc@xxxxxx/
  https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/c58ab319-222b-5ab0-0924-7774a473e276@xxxxxx/

I got the wrong fixes tag though, it should be:
  Fixes: c156633f1353 ("Renesas Ethernet AVB driver proper")

Thanks,
