Hi John,

Can you please give more details about why this is done. I can see in
adapter data user_data pointer kept per port now, but why? What was
observed with previous code? If this is to fix something, what we should
expect to be fixed?

And there is mtu_set implementation, is it related modification? Can be
separated to another patch?

Thanks,
ferruh
