I think I see the mistake that led to the confusion before: you should
base cleanups for network drivers on net-next.git, not net.git.
The correct URL is

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git

and it is usually very close to linux-next, except for patches that
just got applied and have not made it into the latest linux-next.

Only if you find a serious bug, use net.git instead so the fix can
go into the mainline kernel.
