That is not quite the tree you should be using, you should be using the "net" tree, which is here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/
and here are some useful pieces of information in the netdev FAQ:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/tree/Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.rst#n28
Also, since this is not the version version of your patch, please make sure your subject indicates this is not the first version, I have lost count of the exact number of times you submitted this already (4?) so this could be [PATCH net v5] in the subject or something like that.
Given you fix a bug please also provide an appropriate Fixes tag, which should be:
Fixes: 466c5ac8bdf2 ("net: stmmac: create one debugfs dir per net-device") -- Florian
