Subject: RE: [PATCH 1/1] DSA Add callback to traffic control information

Although the code is GPL, as the code comes with Hardware,
And the Hardware belong to a third party ...

I understand the reason for users. But like ant rule. It should be used properly.

This patch is really small and could solve many future TC issues.

The current state of many TC callbacks does not make sense.
May be it is time to do some cleaning?

Just hope a light the way.

If the code is licensed GPL, and you can fulfil the requirements of adding a Signed-off-by: you can submit it.

However until there is a user of this, sorry, this patch will not be accepted.
