Hi Amir,
I've read through the patches take a look at my set and see if you
can add this as another TC_SETUP_* command namely TC_SETUP_FLOWER. The
switchdev bits could be handled the same way as fdb_add and other ndo
ops are handled today in rocker. I don't think your set of patches
would have to change much to merge them with my set. I'll take a stab
at it tomorrow and send out a v2. I think this would work and then NIC
can implement just the tc_setup ndo and your switchdev patches remain
unchanged.
Thanks,
John
