Hi Ajit,

It looks like bnxt also started supporting PMD specific APIs in this
patchset. Perhaps we should investigate them if are there common ones
with other PMDs and if so move them to ethdev layer instead of PMD
specific API.


BTW, There are new PMD features in this patchset, and patchset sent two
days before integration deadline.

The process is, new feature patches sent before proposal deadline, which
was March 3 for this release, and let patches reviewed and new versions
sent until integration deadline. If patches acked before integration
deadline, they are integrated.

So this patchset is too late for this release, will be considered for
next release.

If you have urgent fixes, please separate them into another patchset,
and we can work on them to get into this release, but still it is so
close to integration deadline, no promises.

Thanks,
ferruh
