Then this shouldn't have been submitted.

The dependent series has been through a lot of changes and still needs
lots of work, and is very far from being applied.

Posting patches depending upon it is therefore wholly inapproprate.
That time and effort should be spent putting the dependent series
into proper shape.

Since I see what is happening here, I am going to simply ignore all
future submissions of dpaa_eth, until the dependencies are worked
out properly so don't bother posting this stuff again until that
happens.

Thanks.
