Oh, I had bundled some prerequisite patches to avoid breaking the review
bot since my fix for prerequisite handling for the review bot doesn't appear
to be live quite yet(it was merged but the live server looks to be on an older
tag still).

https://github.com/sashiko-dev/sashiko/pull/389

That just got merged so that shouldn't be an issue going forwards as I
assume it should go live soon.

This was originally on the net tree but I had switched to net-next since
some additional prerequisite commits were only in net-next and I was
trying to avoid conflicts or having to bundle the patches to avoid breaking
the review bot.

I guess I could move this back to net and specify the prerequisites with b4
metadata. It isn't entirely clear to me which branch is appropriate for this
however.
