First time net contributor and I'm a bit confused here. When I cloned the net-next, it applied the same patch without the error as shown below:
<path of the linux tree >net-next$ ls

Applying: tipc: replace deprecated strcpy with strscpy in tipc_bearer_get_name()
<path of the linux tree/net-next$

May I know the correct way of getting the latest net-next so that I can reproduce the same error and patch on top of it?
