CIs apply it onto the main repo, there is a script that chose which
tree to apply, it seems it is not working as expected for the
'drivers/net:' case, cc'ed ci mail list and @Ali for it.

Meanwhile I re-run the community lab tests on top of next-net repo,
still some other checks, like Intel ones, will continue to fail until
patches reach to main tree.
