You can use [PATCH net-mlx5] for fixes and [PATCH net-next-mlx5] for

Realistically, there is no way I'm going to remember that and there
isn't an automated way to look it up.

I try really hard to get the net tree stuff correct so when netdev is
on the CC list.  But putting the correct net tree in the subject line
is quite a huge headache and I quite often get it wrong.

Smatch complains about this function:

   drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/eswitch.c:2000 mlx5_esw_unlock()
   warn: inconsistent returns '&esw->mode_lock'.

Before commit ec2fa47d7b98 ("net/mlx5: Lag, use lag lock") there
used to be a matching mlx5_esw_lock() function and the lock and
unlock functions were symmetric.  But now we take the long

                                                       ^ lock ?

Heh.  Thanks.
