Hi Rongwei,

Thanks for the heads up.
As long as there is a plan to upstream driver implementation, I think it
is OK to keep ethdev change and wait for driver implementation for
better design instead of rushing it for this release with lower quality
(although target should be to have driver changes with same release with
API changes for future features).
