This might be a candidate for a Fixes: tag:

| commit da58a931f248f423f917c3a0b3c94303aa30a738
| Author: Maxime Chevallier <maxime.chevallier@xxxxxxxxxxx>

| net: mvneta: Add support for 2500Mbps SGMII

What do you mean by "submitted to the net tree"? I usually send network
driver related patches to netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and from there David
applies them. Is there anything more to it I haven't respected?
