If it fixes a problem which lives outside of net-next, it should target
"net", not "net-next".
"new version" does not help when a commit log can be read at any time
and/or when people try to identify patches for -stable branches. You do
not say which kernel / chipsets combination are known to exhibit the
problem.
Fundamentally, nobody can tell from the description if it is a kernel
or hardware problem nor why things work better after the change.
