Hi Li,
The request in previous patch was to add some documentation on the new feature
in driver documentation, plus some design documentation if needed, not just
release notes update.
But this patch become on the critical path for -rc1, since an mlx ethdev patch
depends on this patch, I want to block them for the release, instead does it
make sense the have the documentation update for the -rc2, what do you think?
Thanks,
ferruh
