Would be easier to get merged if bug fixes came as separate patch<br>
submission.<br></blockquote><div>Sure, I can post this separately. The reason for posting this along with RISC-V patches is that those depend on this one. So I could add "depends-on" but wanted be on the safe side.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

Also have not seen Sponsored-by before; what do you expect it to mean?<br>
Never used in DPDK or kernel git tree.<br></blockquote><div>The idea is that this work was sponsored by the companies mentioned in the sign-off. It is used i.e. in FreeBSD though admittedly never in Linux or DPDK.</div><div>Alternative, which makes checkpatch happy and was previously used is "Suggested-by". However suggestion, doesn't necessary mean sponsorship.</div><div>I had a talk about this with Thomas Monjalon and he has also leaned towards "Sponsored-by".</div><div>I'm open to suggestions as I admit, I'm not sure which route is better.</div></div></div>
