Hi Th= omas 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 v= ersion of this patch set.
Apologies for the inconvenience caused by th= e deep threading.

> Also I'm still waiting for a reply to my que= stion about the need
> for drivers/common/sxe2/.
> I'm not goi= ng to pull any sxe2 patch into main until you explain.

Regarding th= e 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 place= d in "drivers/common/sxe2/" contains the foundational
Hardware Abstrac= tion Layer (HAL), firmware interfaces (AdminQ), and common
register de= finitions.

Apart from the "net/sxe2" PMD in this series, we are ac= tively implementing the
"vdpa/sxe2" driver, which will be submitted in= a subsequent patch set. Both the
"net/sxe2" and "vdpa/sxe2" drivers s= trictly depend on this shared common HAL
layer to manage the same hard= ware 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 conce= rn. Once confirmed, I will
send out the updated v15 series as a reply = to the v1 cover letter immediately.

Best regards,
Jie Liu (liuji= e5@linkdatatechnology.com)
