Please put a cover letter on large multi-patch series in future.

The CI AI review doesn't look at original source and uses cost optimized
model (ie. is not that smart).  Did a UI based review and it saw:

Reviewed the v2 series. Three issues, rest look good.

[06/22] net/cnxk: reserve memory for lookup mem at probe

Error: error path returns success. At the new check rc is still 0 from
the prior successful roc_nix_dev_init(). When
cnxk_nix_fastpath_lookup_mem_get() returns NULL, "goto dev_fini" falls
through to "return rc" with rc == 0, so dev init reports success and the
rc=%d message prints 0. Set rc before the jump:

	if (!cnxk_nix_fastpath_lookup_mem_get()) {
		plt_err("Failed to reserve lookup memory");
		rc = -ENOMEM;
		goto dev_fini;
	}

[07/22] drivers: add support for devargs skip size

Warning: shared memzone freed while other ports still use it.
SKIP_SIZE_PKIND_MEMZONE is a single global memzone created once (lookup-
guarded) in roc_npc_init(), but roc_npc_fini() frees it unconditionally.
On a multi-port device the first port closed tears down the table the
other ports still read in roc_npc_skip_size_pkind_get() during inbound SA
creation; the lookup then returns NULL and skip-size pkind selection
silently stops working for the surviving ports. Refcount the memzone or
tie its lifetime to the common/inline layer instead of per-NPC fini.

[19/22] net/cnxk: add FEC get set and capability ops

Warning: feature not reflected in the features matrix. features.rst maps
the FEC feature to fec_get_capability/fec_get/fec_set, which this patch
implements, but doc/guides/nics/features/cnxk.ini is not updated with
"FEC = Y". The ops return NOTSUP on VF/SDP, so cnxk_vf.ini is correct as-
is. Add the matrix entry.

Note on [16/22]: the changes are good. Moving cpt_cq_ena inside the
"if (idev && idev->nix_inl_dev)" block fixes a NULL deref of inl_dev, and
cpt_cq_ena is initialized to 0 so the fall-through default is correct.
The roc_dev.c / roc_ree.c error-path rework fixes real leaks and wrong-
success returns.

Other patches reviewed with no issues.
