I agree we should remove this driver. But I'm afraid the notice may be a bit short in time. Could we proceed as for the LiquidIO driver? The bnx2x driver could be declared unmaintained in 23.07, and then removed in 23.11. In any case it is good to have a notice as early as possible, even if the plan is slightly postponed. Please let's discuss the execution plan during a Technical Board meeting. Applied as-is for 23.03 release, thanks.
