Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 20.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 02/11/21. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable/commit/a1f1d47fb71a3230bc6c3ad8261a41d37c11c45f

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

+Supports Forward error correction. Forward error correction (FEC) is a bit error correction mode.
+It adds error correction information to data packets at the transmit end, and uses the error correction
+information to correct the bit errors generated during data packet transmission at the receive end. This
+improves signal quality but also brings a delay to signals. This function can be enabled or disabled as required.
