About the series:
This series of patches upgrades the DPAA2 driver firmware to
v10.10.10 (MC Firmware).
As the bus/fslmc is modified, it is a dependent object for other
drivers like net/crypto/qdma. Also, the changes are mostly tightly
linked - thus, the patches include upgrade as well as sequential
changes to driver.
Once done, it would imply that DPAA2 driver won't work with any MC
FW lower than 10.10.10.
Support for this new firmware is available in publically available
LSDK (Layerscape SDK) release [1].
Besides the FW change, there are other subtle changes as well:
- Support reading the MAC address from NIC device, rather than
using a default MAC
- Adding support for QBMan 5.0 FW APIs
- Some patches for NXP's LX2 platform specific features
- And some bug fixes.
Dependency:
* These patches are based on net-next/master 58c3b609699a8c
* Series [1] is logically related to this, but has no git/patch
related dependency. It is series for upgrade of DPAA.

Version History:
v1->v2:
- Bumped up the version of the libraries (pmd/bus/crypto/event) as the
first set of patches (MC firmware update) breaks the internal ABI
- Added support for ordered processing APIs. These APIs are expected
to be used in subseqent feature updates on DPAA2 ethernet driver.
- Some internal bug fixes.
(Patches increased from 11~15)
Hi Thomas,
Would you be taking this series for RC1?
(Ideally being driver code, this should have been with Ferruh but
patchwork is showing your name).
