Actually, I used get_maintainer scripts and the results is as follow:
"./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/prestera/prestera_acl.c"
Taras Chornyi <tchornyi@xxxxxxxxxxx> (supporter:MARVELL PRESTERA ETHERNET SWITCH DRIVER)
"David S. Miller" <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list)

Therefore, I submitted my patch to the above addresses.

And this time I checked the fixes commit, and found that it has two
authors:
Signed-off-by: Volodymyr Mytnyk <vmytnyk@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Maybe there is a problem of the script that misses one.
Anyway, I have already submitted the same patch and added
"vmytnyk@xxxxxxxxxxx" this time.

Thanks,
Jiang
