I'm very happy to see this patchset in the wind. Great news! I have
couple of questions:
Do you also plan to introduce support for FM6000?
>From what I understand, there is one netdev instance for the whole switch (PF).
How can user get stats and info for particular ports? This topic was
discussed many times and I believe that general consensus is to have 1
netdev instance to represent one switch port (that is for example how we
do it in rocker driver).
Thanks.
