Hi,

Please find below roadmap of NXP for 24.11 release:

bus/fslmc:
========
                Upgrade MC firmware to 10.39 for DPAA2 platform. Latest MC version with general bug fixes, TM issue fix for >8 queues, and API enhancements for flow distribution statistics.

net/dpaa2:
=========
      - Flow APIs implementation enhancement and bug fixes.

net/dpaa:
========
    - IEEE1588 support
               The DPAA driver supports IEEE1588 (Precision Time Protocol) for precise clock synchronization.
    -  OH port support
               Introducing Offline (O/H) port support, enabling hardware-based packet processing and loopback capabilities. This feature allows for efficient packet exchange between applications, leveraging two queues for receive and send operations. With a maximum speed of 3.75 Mpps (2.5 Gbps), O/H ports facilitate communication between applications, enabling use cases like inter-process communication and packet processing.

net/eQoS:
========
               The eQoS Ethernet Driver is a new DPDK driver proposed for the 24.11 release, supporting NXP's i.MX8MP, i.MX8DXL, i.MX91, and i.MX93 platforms.

net/enetc:
========
     - support new ethernet enetc4 driver version4 of existing Enetc driver on NXP i.MX95 platform, featuring:
* Virtual Functions (VFs) for virtualized environments
          * VF-PF messaging for enhanced feature control
* Multiple queues with RSS-based distribution for optimized network performance

net/enetfec:
==========
                Improves enetfec driver with:

- Coverity bug fixes, addressing potential security vulnerabilities
- Datapath logic fixes to resolve non-cache coherent platform issues

crypto/dpaax:
===========
                - Improves crypto/dpaax functionality with:

- Fixes for PDCP descriptors, ensuring accurate data processing
- Debugging enhancements for easier issue identification and resolution
- Memory leak fixes, preventing resource waste and ensuring stability
- optimizations

These enhancements improve the reliability, stability, performance and debuggability of crypto on dpaax platforms.

dma/dpaax:
==========
                Complete overhaul of the DMA driver code for DPAA1 and DPAA2 platforms, focusing on:

- Simplified code structure for improved maintainability
- Enhanced readability for easier understanding and debugging
- Future-proof design for seamless integration of upcoming features

Apart from that:

  *   Enhances the memory dump in proc-info application.
  *   Enhances the l3fwd application for route rules.
  *   Suggestions and fixes some meson related options related to installation directories, binaries and source code.

Regards,
Gagan
