Thanks for the overview. We look forward to your patches; please
include the same cc list as this series.
I think it makes sense to have some OEM NCSI handing purely in the
kenrel. This would allow eg. the MAC address of an interface to be
correct at boot, without requiring userspace to come up first.
I have also heard stories of temperature sensors over NCSI. Those
would make sense to be hwmon drivers, which again would mean handling
them in the kernel.
Justin, Vijay, can you please list the known NCSI OEM
commands/extensions that we plan on implementing?
In our implementation, All OEM commands are transparent to Kernel.
We don't plan to add any specific handler in the Kernel. 

Thanks,
Justin
