[PATCH v5 34/35] net/idpf: enable simple Tx function

Bruce Richardson bruce.richardson at intel.com
Wed Feb 11 19:13:03 CET 2026


The common "simple Tx" function - in some ways a scalar version of the
vector Tx functions - can be used by the idpf driver as well as i40e and
ice, so add support for it to the driver.
