Sorry, I need to refine my sense of smell.

You might find this interesting:

You made a few process errors as well. Since you submitted this to
net, it needs a Fixes: tag.

Also:

Particularly:

	It must either fix a real bug that bothers people

Sparse warnings don't really both people. But is the sparse warning
indicating a read bug which does bother people? If so, net is O.K, but
please add to the commit message what the real bug is. If this is
simply cleanup, not a bug fix, please submit to net-next.

You can also learn a lot by subscribing to the netdev mailing list,
and reading other peoples patches, and review comments they get.
