Hi Thomas Monjalon,

Thank you for your review and for guiding me on the mailing list workflow.

Got it. I will configure git send-email with "--in-reply-to" bound to the
v1 cover letter Message-ID for the next version of this patch set.
Apologies for the inconvenience caused by the deep threading.

Regarding the necessity of the "drivers/common/sxe2/" directory, the sxe2
hardware architecture is designed to support both standard NIC and vDPA
(vHost Data Path Acceleration) functionalities.

The code currently placed in "drivers/common/sxe2/" contains the foundational
Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), firmware interfaces (AdminQ), and common
register definitions.

Apart from the "net/sxe2" PMD in this series, we are actively implementing the
"vdpa/sxe2" driver, which will be submitted in a subsequent patch set. Both the
"net/sxe2" and "vdpa/sxe2" drivers strictly depend on this shared common HAL
layer to manage the same hardware core. Separating this code into "drivers/common/"
is essential to prevent massive code duplication between the net and vdpa
subsystems in the near future.

Please let me know if this clarifies your concern. Once confirmed, I will
send out the updated v15 series as a reply to the v1 cover letter immediately.

Best regards,
