I think it would be better to squash the makefile related changes in
the 3/33 patch as the code
is actually added in that and here the code is not getting compiled
here.
So the changes in the following files has to be moved to patch 3/33?
drivers/crypto/Makefile
drivers/crypto/meson.build
drivers/crypto/octeontx/Makefile
drivers/crypto/octeontx/meson.build
mk/rte.app.mk
I think this patch will just have MAINTAINER edit (even that might be
required to be moved to 3/33?) & changes to config/common_base, after
that. Is that fine?
In my opinion, you do not need this patch as separate one.
config/common_base can also be added in the 3/33.
In that case 02/33 patch would become the first patch right? The same
problem would be there too, I guess. The macros added in that patch gets
used only in 03/33 patch. Is that fine?
I think that would be fine. Better to have a 03/33 patch before 02/33
if it doesn't have dependencies.
03/33 patch is dependent on 02/33 patch. Shall I proceed with merging
01/33 to 03/33 and make 02/33 the first patch?
The first patch would be a shell patch for most PMD additions. That's
the reason we started this way. If you want it changed, will do so.
Please do let me know what will be the right approach.
For the makefiles, you would be compiling the empty files which does
not have any code. That does not make any sense to me.
With 01/33 there won't be any files compiled. We are just adding the
library (which would be empty)
Normally, when we submit a new PMD, we add the basic PMD probe/remove
in the first patch and add it into build system. Maintainers is also
updated for the new PMD.
Further ops are added later in the patchset.
Hardware specific header files/ functions are added before they are
used in the driver in a single/multiple logical patches.
In the end, documentation is added along with release note and
MAINTAINERS update for documentation files.
I shall proceed with merging 01/33 to 03/33, if you can confirm making
02/33 the first patch is fine. Or please do let me know if you have any
other suggestions.
