Hi Jerin, In patch subject, as tag, other drivers are using only driver name, and Intel drivers also has "driver/base", since base code has some special case. For thunderx, what do you think about keeping subject as: "thunderx: ...."Hi Ferruh, We may add crypto or other builtin ThunderX HW accelerated block drivers in future to DPDK. So that is the reason why I thought of keeping the subject as thunderx/nicvf. If you don't have any objection then I would like to keep it as thunderx/nicvf or just nicvf.I don't like the name nicvf but I guess that's the official name? Thus I agree the title should be thunderx/nicvf or thunderx_nicvf.I think I'd prefer the underscore version.underscore option looks bit odd when comparing to exiting other git logs. as Ferruh suggested "net/thunderx:" looks good to me. If their no objections I would like to go with "net/thunderx:"
net/thunderx would be easy to parse if all other drivers were using net/ or crypto/ prefixes. Do we want to add these prefixes to driver commits?
