There is a high volume of patches for the media subsystem. Anyway,
as your patch is at our patchwork instance:

https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/project/linux-media/patch/20210714032340.504836-1-mudongliangabcd@xxxxxxxxx/

It should be properly tracked, and likely handled after the end of
the merge window.

If you're the author of the patch, it doesn't make much sense to
add a "Reported-by:" tag there. We only use it in order to give
someone's else credit to report an issue.

Thanks,
