From: Anirudh Venkataramanan <anirudh.venkataramanan@intel.com> Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2018 09:21:21 -0800 > This patch series adds the ice driver, which will support the Intel(R) > E800 Series of network devices. > > This is the first phase in the release of this driver where we implement > basic transmit and receive. The idea behind the multi-phase release is to > aid in code review as well as testing. Subsequent phases will implement > advanced features (like SR-IOV, tunnelling, flow director, QoS, etc.) that > build upon the previous phase(s). Each phase will be submitted as a patch > series. > > I cc'd netdev for review since this is a new driver, even though this is > targetted to go through Jeff Kirsher's Intel Wired LAN git tree(s). I did a quick once-over on this driver and I have no major objections.
