Re: [PATCH] net: ena: Add a driver for Amazon Elastic Network Adapters (ENA)

Hi Netanel,

Looks like the last round of internal review went to {lkml,netdev,etc},
so this should be considered a RFC patch.

The description still needs work.

ethernet -> Ethernet
The driver operates variety of ENA adapters through
feature negotiation with the adapter and upgradable commands set.
ENA driver handles PCI Physical and Virtual ENA functions.

The ENA device is not yet released to public.
He is expected to be released soon.
I would say "this is a driver for a device that will be available in
the future." I wouldn't say "He is expected to released soon."
For the full specification of the device please refer to:
<SPEC-PATH>
Obviously this is a placeholder. I think that the included
documentation in ena.txt and in the code provides a reasonable theory
of operation, and you don't necessarily need to provide a pointer
here. If/when a full specification is available you can submit a patch
to ena.txt that points to the canonical location.
