Hi Dave and Doug,

This series introduces some small updates and FPGA support to the

mlx5

quoted

core/ethernet and IB drivers.

For more details please see below.

Please pull and let me know if there's any problem.

Ok, I've pulled this into net-next.

Doug let me know if there are any merge hassles we need to coordinate
on.

Thanks.

Will do.  But is the question of a possible revert settled?  Because
once I pull, a revert means I have to pull all the way up to the revert
as well...

Revert is unlikely to happen, Saeed is working with Alexey to resolve
his raised concerns.

I still think the direction is absolutely wrong.
Reinventing fpga interfaces via nic driver is no-go.
mlx needs to send a patch to revert it to show that they are willing
to listen to the community.

"Two people from Facebook" is not the commnity Alexei. :-)

And ironically, you guys will want to be one of the main users of
these facilities for the KTLS offload bits, so the desire to separate
it out and make "backports easier" really confuses me.
