Congratulations on the best new vendor driver submission to date.
I would prefer that the driver be NAPI only, because configuration choices
are hard for users and distribution to make correct choice. Plus it means two
choices for your QA to test.

I agree with Stephen.
It's absolutely to provide a non-NAPI option, please just remove
the option and the conditionals from the code.

Also I think it's useless to provide one patch per source file. It'd
be better to have one whole patch, or several ones if some features
may be added incrementally.

Ok, thanks for comments. I will change code on these comments.

Please generate the patch against current mainline (or at least
current -rc); it fails to apply cleanly as is.

Use tabs, not spaces, for indentation. Run scripts/checkpatch.pl on
each patchfile and try to eliminate as many errors as you can. There
are hundreds of checkpatch-reported errors in your submitted patches.
