Hi Andrew, Thank you for the patch, I have encounter with a few minor issues, can you please check them [1]? Also folder structure is drivers/net/sfc/efx/<all_src_files>, why /sfc/ layer is created? sfc is company name (solarflare communications), right? Other driver folders not structured based on company, what about using drivers/net/efx/* ? [1]: 1- There are a few (non-base) checkpatch warnings, can you please check patch 36, 49, 50 and 55 please? 2- Got following compile issues, not investigated, directly sharing here: a) for i686-native-linuxapp-gcc target: ======================================= In file included from .../i686-native-linuxapp-gcc/include/rte_debug.h:46:0, from .../drivers/net/sfc/efx/efsys.h:39, from .../drivers/net/sfc/efx/base/efx.h:34, from .../drivers/net/sfc/efx/sfc.c:35: .../drivers/net/sfc/efx/sfc.c: In function ?sfc_dma_alloc?: .../drivers/net/sfc/efx/sfc.c:51:32: warning: format ?%lu? expects argument of type ?long unsigned int?, but argument 12 has type ?size_t {aka unsigned int}?
