Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 2/7] net: rpmsg-eth: Add basic rpmsg skeleton
Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2025 17:06:07 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250911113612.2598643-3-danishanwar@ti.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250911113612.2598643-1-danishanwar@ti.com>
Introduces a basic RPMSG Ethernet driver and add it's basic skeleton.
Add support for creating virtual Ethernet devices over RPMSG channels,
allowing user-space programs to send and receive messages using a
standard Ethernet protocol. The driver includes message handling,
probe, and remove functions, along with necessary data structures.
