Please throw out everything except the absolute bare minimum. Ethtool, is not needed in the first patchset. All the UAPI stuff is not needed. All the sysfs stuff is gone. One PF, no VF. All the custom debug macros can go, etc. If you manage to get that absolute minimum base driver merged, you can then start adding patchsets to flesh out the driver. Eventually you can get to the controversial stuff, like sysfs, uapi, etc, and you can argue your case why your driver is special and needs this. And as a bit of an aside, how much has an LLM been chewing on the code and spitting out issues? The prompts used by netdev are available, you can run it yourself. So you might want to address as many as you can before posting code to the list. That will avoid you reaching v42 of the absolute bare minimum patchset. Andrew
