Hi Olivier,

Some driver patches already received for this update, but not all yet.

Can you please describe what changes are required in PMDs after this
patch? And what will be effect of doing changes or not?

Later we can circulate this information through the PMD maintainers to
be sure proper updates done.

Thanks,
ferruh
