Stale stuff. Not valid for meson.

This feature name has been updated, can you please rebase on top of latest 
next-net for it.

Also can you please set the supported architectures.

This link leads to a very generic product page, is there a way to provide the 
link for the product this driver is for?

Above 'Features' block can be added when a featre is added.

Since this is a VF driver, there must be a dependency to the PF driver, can you 
please provide more details on the PF driver.
As far as I understand both octeontx & octeontx2 are supported but please give 
more details about dependency. I assume there must be some host drivers for the 
endpoint PF, etc..

I think the config option is not more exists, please drop it.

For the series,

First of all sorry for the late review, I put some comments on some patches.

Overall the set looks clean, there seems no major issue, I hope changes can be 
done on time for -rc2.

If there is a timing concern for updates, I am OK to postpone some parts to -rc3 
as long as they are committed to be completed for -rc3, let say like for adding 
dynamic logging support etc...

Please be aware of the 32bit build error, details in the relative patch.

Thanks,
ferruh
