Hi Li,
I am not clear with the dependency chain, can you please clarify,
1) Is this set depends to series-16301? Because it compiles fine after conflict
resolved, I can see in your repo there is an order, but if there is no
functional/logical dependency you can set this patch exactly on top of HEAD
(removing the series-16301 in between), so the CI will be enabled.
2) According its cover letter series-16301 depends on mlx ASO patch, this makes
all ethdev patches dependent to mlx5 set, I guess that is wrong, can you please
confirm?
Above (1) is more important, since series-16301 not fully acked, it is blocking
me to proceed.
