The HiSilicon Network Substem is a long term evolution IP which is supposed to be used in HiSilicon ICT SoCs. HNS (HiSilicon Network Sybsystem) also has a hardware support of performing RDMA with RoCEE. The driver for HiSilicon RoCEE(RoCE Engine) is a platform driver and will support mulitple versions of SOCs in future. This version of driver is meant to support Hip06 SoC(which confirms to RoCEEv1 hardware specifications). Changes v6 -> v7: 1. modify some type of parameter, use bool replace the original type. 2. add the Signed-off-by signatures in the first patch. 3. delete the improper print sentence in hns_roce_create_eq.One thing you should be aware of (but which you may not care about, which is fine) is that if you want your driver to be available as part of the OpenFabric Alliances OFED distribution, the license on the files would need to be "GPL or BSD" (see the remainder of the RDMA stack for examples). If you don't want that license on your files, I'm fine with that, and I won't hold up your submission based on the license. If, however, you *do* want your code to be shipable as part of OFED, it is much easier to update the license on the files before you submit them and third parties modify them. If you want to change the license later, you have to get every person that has made any substantive change to the file to agree to the license change.
