Re: [PATCH net-next] enic: add client name to port profile

Firmware has support for sending client name of the port profile to the switch
it's connected to.

This patch adds client name to port profile which is sent to hardware while
associating a port profile to VF.

Since port profile are defined in switch, this patch makes it easier to check
what VM is using a port profile.

I think you should split this up into two patches, one which adds
the new netlink facility, and second which adds support to the
specific driver.

Thanks.
