Subject: Re: [PATCH] drivers/net: remove alias for virtual devices
Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2022 16:26:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <37814289.10thIPus4b@thomas> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220921133451.4164506-1-ferruh.yigit@amd.com>
I think this patch requires a techboard vote
as it is dropping some user-facing naming.
21/09/2022 15:34, Ferruh Yigit:
