Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] common/mlx5: fix storing the synched MAC to internal table

["Dey, Souvik" <sodey@rbbn.com>]

Hi Slava,
	Initially v2 of the patch has " instead of ' in the Fixes tags, but it gave some warnings as wrong quota. So thought of changing it to '. I can change it back again, do you suggest me to submit v4 with with corrected quota character or its ok to have the v3 of the patch itself as you have already acked ?

Hi,

I'm sorry, but quota character in "Fixes" tags is still wrong, causing the checking script errors.
It should be " (0x22 ASCII), not ' (0x27 ASCII).

Beside this:
