DPDK19.11 is the first version of the hns3 driver integrated into the DPDK.
In this version, the features based on hns3 network engine are not complete,
we prefer to recommend users to use the updated version.

"fb94f35948 Chengchang Tang net/hns3: fix adding multicast MAC address"
For the above patch, we think that it will have little effect if this patch
does not merged into the 19.11.x version.

"920be799db Lijun Ou net/hns3: fix RSS indirection table configuration"
This patch depends on the following patch:
     "a951c1ed3 net/hns3: support different numbers of Rx and Tx queues",
but the patch was accepted in dpdk20.02.0, not merged in dpdk 19.11.x.
Can you give some suggestions?
Thanks.
