Hi Vivien,

I understand your point of view, and it really makes sense.

But the first patch has a dependency on the DSA cleanup patchset, so
if I follow your point, I should submit 3 patchsets with a single
patchset for the poll_link complete removal. But the two other
patchsets will have a strong dependency on the poll_link removal...

This question is on which version of mv88e6060 and dsa should I base
the cleanup patchset ? before of after the poll_link removal ?

For the fixes, they are not critical at all, net-next would be enough.

Any advice is welcome at this point....

Thanks !

Neil
