   * This has been submitted. Presented the idea of doing it as a
“demo” to TB/GB.
* Discussion with Manjunathgouda about legacy DTS vs new DTS:
   * There is a goal from the Intel side to move from the legacy DTS
to the new DTS
   * This team does complete validation from the intel side - they are
reporting the intel test results on the release notes.

Patch discussions
* Cryptodev testing:
   * https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=37325
   * Patrick reviewed the framework and API code yesterday, and is now
running the testsuite across our hardware to review that aspect.
      * test_run.yaml and nodes.yaml config files optional fields.
What is the best solution going forward? Is it a benefit to provide a
more verbose documentation of the optional vs required fields in the
.example config files?
   * Docs build failure reported by intel lab has been resolved.
* Flow offload testing:
   * https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=36976
   * MODIFY action rules will now be hardcoded, as supporting modify
in the flow rule generator was adding lots of complexity.
      * So, only QUEUE and DROP actions run through the generator
      * JUMP and MODIFY are explicitly coded.
* Support NO_LINK topology:
