What kind of dependency?  On networking or MIPS changes?

If the dependency is on MIPS changes, then if I cannot apply this as
it will break the net-next build on MIPS.  You should merge this
via the MIPS tree, where the dependencies are, in that case.

Please clarify what is specifically happening here.

Thanks.
