Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 0/6] net: fec: Enable Software TSO to improve the tx
 performance

I think you need to start taking David Laight's feedback more seriously.

He's right, it makes no sense at all the increase the number of RX
descriptors for the sake of a send side feature like TSO.

If you have a another reason to increase the RX descriptor count, do
it as a separate change and with an appropriate commit log message
explaining WHY you are doing this.

I'm not applying this patch series until you start taking the feedback
you are receiving to heart.
