Hi Qi,

This is generic comment for the patchset but it is easy to demonstrate in this
patch,

Patch title and comment describes what is done in the code, which is exactly
same with what can be seen from the code, so doesn't add more value.

What can't be seen from the below code is "why you need this change?" and "what
is the impact of the change?".

Can you please update the patch title to describe what is achieved by the patch
but not implementation details.
Also in commit log describe "why it is needed" and "what will be the impact, or
impact of not having this change", and of course if the implementation is
complex describe the implementation too.


And specific to this patch, this is base code update, most probably it is
setting ground to enable some features in driver, wouldn't it be better to do
these changes when the relevant driver change done? It sets the context for the
update and it helps to review the patch.
Right now it just exposes some APIs without really knowing who will use them, or
will anybody use them at all.

OK, I will give generic reply :)

Yes, the patch set include a lot changes that impact nothing from user's view.
For examples it adds API not be used in this release but will be used in future.
The reason we do this early is we want to sync with the latest share code that kernel team delivered to DPDK.

And I think this gives below benefits:
1. Generally, stripped the code only we needed from a kernel delivery will take developer more effort compare to just simply sync to a new delivery. (if we take 5000+ ice_flex_pipe.c for example)
2. Exposed some unused share code API early help developers out of Intel to contribute some new features that rely on those APIs and avoid license issue ( they can reference kernel's share code but can't submit the patch with that part of share code)
3. it help us to deliver succinct RFC patch base on an official release for customer for some new feature evaluation.
3. Same benefit for internal develop for some features for new release, it's easy for team to start a code base that include all the share code we needed.

BTW, as I know this is the same way we do on other Intel drivers ( i40e and ixgbe).

Yes, I think it's better to add more explanation base on my previous comment.

As I explained above.
