It might be worth adding to the bnxt.rst section about these NICs, as
there is no hint that they are deprecated for a user reading that.

Where I'm not clear is about 20.11. It will be an LTS, will they be
supported for the lifetime of 20.11 on the 20.11 branch?

Kevin.

Thanks Kevin.
I will add that when the support is really removed.

Since the deprecation is not really planned for 20.11 I think it is not really
needed for now?

20.11 will have the support. The deprecation is planned for 21.02.

Ok, it's the correct section for it, so I won't argue.

Right, I'm just concerned about it getting broken in say 20.11.2 because
of backports to the driver. Once it's in 20.11, it should continue to
work in 20.11.x releases which will be for 2 years.

Anyway, that is a side issue to this patch for deprecation, so,

Yes. Thanks. We will keep the lights on for the LTS releases.

Usually we wait for 3 acks for deprecation.
It has been discussed in the techboard, so I prefer getting some acks
reflecting the discussion, please.

Ok. Thanks.
All, It will be good to get the Acks before the 20.11 release.
