Hi Ferruh,

These patches provide only the initialization of a SmartNiC and prepare it for the Tx/Rx.
The NapaTech Smart NiC requires an already-created flow to receive and transmit packets. (with hardware offload or processed by software)
The next patch set we prepare allows create flow. So, with the next patch set, Tx/Rx will work.

BR,
Serhii
