[dts] Fwd: Re: [PATCH v2 00/28] DTS support for Cavium NICs

[Angela Czubak]

Hi Marvin,

please wait for another version, I would like to include another small
fix in the shutdown api test suite, but I need some more time to
investigate how should MTU/max rx pkt settings work in both DPDK and DTS
(it seems we have found a bug in thunder driver for DPDK and I want to
make sure the test expects the correct behaviour). I will merge the two
commits mentioned into one, so please wait for V3.

Regards,

Angela
