Here is the summary with links:
- [net-next,1/3] ipv6: Add sockaddr_inet unified address structure
https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net-next/c/463deed51796
- [net-next,2/3] wireguard: peer: Replace sockaddr with sockaddr_inet
https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net-next/c/9203e0a82c0b
- [net-next,3/3] sctp: Replace sockaddr with sockaddr_inet in sctp_addr union
https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net-next/c/511d10b4c2f9
You are awesome, thank you!
