My proposal would be that the IPv6 patches go via net-next to reduce merge conflicts with maybe upcoming changes. If they are split up, they seem very much self contained and easy to review. The rest seems to be also very much self contained and can go in via bluetooth-next, then. What do you think? Bye, Hannes
