Hello: This series was applied to netdev/net-next.git (main) by Paolo Abeni [off-list ref]: On Thu, 29 Aug 2024 14:33:35 +0200 you wrote:
NETDEV_FEATURE_COUNT is currently 64, which means we can't add any new features as netdev_features_t is u64. As per several discussions, instead of converting netdev_features_t to a bitmap, which would mean A LOT of changes, we can try cleaning up netdev feature bits. There's a bunch of bits which don't really mean features, rather device attributes/properties that can't be changed via Ethtool in any of the drivers. Such attributes can be moved to netdev private flags without losing any functionality. [...]
Here is the summary with links:
