Hi Chen,

(resending my answer since apparently the first time it failed)

The title should contain:
- wpan (that's the tree you target, use --subject-prefix="PATCH wpan"
of git-format-patch)
- v2 (because that's a new version, use the -v2 option of
git-format-patch)

Apparently I mis-wrote the stable address, just add this line to the
commit:

Cc: [email protected]

(right now you sent it to [email protected] which is incorrect,
sorry for the typo)

> Fixes: f25da51fdc38 ("ieee802154: hwsim: add replacement for fakelb")

And please carry the tags:

nitpick rcu_replace_pointer() can be used here.*

Thank you for your suggestion, Alex. BTW, thanks for Miquèl's patient
guidance too, I just started trying to submit patches to the kernel,
I will do batter.

Thanks,
