Sorry, the prefix is a confusing one.  Here "iwl" is Intel Wired LAN, not
iwlwifi.  It is the prefix the Intel ethernet maintainers use for their
next-queue tree, the one in MAINTAINERS under INTEL ETHERNET DRIVERS:

  L: intel-wired-lan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (moderated for non-subscribers)
  T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/next-queue.git

Intel's own developers tag patches for that tree the same way; recent
examples on the list are the ice, idpf, ixd and libie series, all
[PATCH iwl-next].  Since these four patches only touch
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ and its documentation, they go through that
tree rather than straight to net-next.

So I think iwl-next is right here, but Tony and Przemek should correct me
if they would rather have them another way.

Thanks for looking.
