Hi Jijiang,

I feel there is a lot of important changes in these patches but I cannot 
easily read them. Splitting in many small patches with nice commit logs would 
help a lot.
Please refer to http://dpdk.org/dev#send in order to understand what must be a 
good patch.

At least, you should make patches for minor changes (whitespace/typo/case), 
few patches for new features (e.g. M88E1512, SFP+ laser) and few patches for 
bug fixes (e.g. pll_workaround_i210, locks, fc-autoneg, vf link).

Especially, an explanation is needed for locking changes as there were some 
work on it in these commits:
	http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/commit/?id=4c9d8ed203c1170e4cc11
	http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/commit/?id=f283b30509d2db745e746

"git add -p" could help you to split the changes into several commits.
You can check how minor changes in base driver were handled previously.
Examples from version 1.5.1:
	http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/commit/?id=1558bea6e3723d9c1
	http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/commit/?id=2fd4855f306e9df38
	http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/commit/?id=5037620be576a3c20
	http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/commit/?id=1d2d65121bd10ba95

Thanks
