You didn't really do anything wrong. In *general* I prefer to see
public URLs if they are sent to public lists, so if you're cc'ing
something to LKML, I would generally expect the pull request to have a
public URL like https://git.kernel.org/ instead of a private ssh:// URL
that is only accessible to people with a kernel.org account.

That's basically all there is to it. It doesn't *really* matter, since
Linus is the one who will be merging the actual pull request, and he
certainly has access to internal ssh:// URLs. However, in case someone
else was interested in reviewing the pull request, it would be more
friendly to have a public URL for them.

Best,
