Sorry this is not clear. Please explain what was the previous behaviour with a past tense, and what is the new changed behaviour. > BITFIELD_DECLARE(mac_own, uint64_t, MLX5_MAX_MAC_ADDRESSES); > + BITFIELD_DECLARE(mac_pmd, uint64_t, MLX5_MAX_MAC_ADDRESSES); Not sure about the naming. What is the difference between mac_own and mac_pmd?
