Hi Ferruh,

these patches just update base driver. It does not add any new
functionality visible to DPDK users.
The point here is to prepare base driver to add new HW to
DPDK native net/sfc driver. Release notes will be updated
at the point (this release).
I can join these patch series, but it is already tooooo long.

Thanks,
Andrew.
