Dave,

I would like to raise this up again, we already suggested a way to
avoid these kind of failures in the future, but you've seem to missed
it.

Basically we want to run mlx5 core branch to be clean from netdev or
rdma stuff and will be submitted to both subsystems.

for example if a netdev/rdma feature want to add mlx5 core
functionality we will end up sending a pull request in the following
structure:

mlx5/core pull request   -> goes to both trees (netdev and rdma).
mlx5 netdev part pull request -> goes to netdev only

same for rdma, the mlx5/core part goes to both trees, but net-next is
not required to pull the rdma part, we will get to review it but will
never need to pull it..

Is this something that could work ?

Thanks,
Saeed.
