Hi Gregory,

You can add:
Tested-by: Marcin Wojtas <mw@...ihalf.com>

I checked different queues, the traffic passed through, and the irqs
came to proper CPU's. FYI, in my setup with A388-GP as a bridge, after
attaching two ports to different CPU's there was an increase of
~50kpps (almost 9%) for 64B packets.

Best regards,
Marcin
