I discussed this with Ioana, and we now think it would be better to
retarget v3 for net-next, given:
- the fact that you are effectively removing a bootloader dependency
  (which can be seen as further developing the driver), not fixing a
  breakage (which will be backported to stable kernels)
- the risk for introducing regressions in said stable kernels

But yes, patches targeted for 'net' should have a Fixes: tag.
