That's fine. The NPCM team has done a good job of incrementally
upstreaming their work, and I'm sure you will continue this progress
next year.

A note for next time: turn off the HTML email for the mailing list please.

I think we had a similar issue when attempting to upstream the ASPEED
LPC mailbox driver. The kernel has a driver model called "mailbox",
and so the reviewers assumed the hardware should use that. However it
does not fit the hardware or use case at all. We should work out a
common solution here.

Is this the driver that Ben offered to help rework? I strongly suggest
re-starting the conversation with him. He is very experienced with the
network stack, and will be able to help get the driver in shape for
upstream, and make it efficient.

I'll take a look at the patches below today.

Cheers,

Joel
