Yes, our patchwork instance and its CI agree:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/ca270a534d0f230a939a3fb4a661808b35d6436d.1783329817.git.u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxx/


but i was actually meaning the patches which swaps to the broken out
header with only struct mdio_device_id. I assume that patch is the one
which really reduces the number of files which get recompiled on
unrelated changes. That patch can be submitted to netdev probably next
week.
