What is this tag? In linux-next? As patch is not yet in Linus' tree, you cannot refer to it like this.

You might need to change this to a "lore" link:

This fix looks a bit weird to me. What about proposing a patch to Russell like the chunk that you already identified in function phylink_major_config()?

Russell, is the requirement for this void function intended?
