Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 20.11.9

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 06/30/23. 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/a6ffd39801701b8e5e1ce5b6d0be8dd9bfd8242b

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] ethdev: update documentation for API to set FEC

[ upstream commit 6af24dc3794059373c2131ae776d55ac78724ffa ]

The documentation for the rte_eth_fec_set() is updated
to provide more detailed information about how FEC modes are
handled. It also includes a description of the case when only
the AUTO bit is set.

Fixes: b7ccfb09da95 ("ethdev: introduce FEC API")
