- Convert compile time flags to runtime options
- Move firmware version get operation to base code
- Fix minor bugs

Jiawen Wu (7):
  net/txgbe: update device ID
  net/txgbe: add device arguments
  net/txgbe: move firmware version get function to base code
  net/txgbe: update link setup process of backplane NICs
  net/txgbe/base: support to handle backplane AN73 flow
  net/txgbe: handle AN interrupt and link update
  net/txgbe: add FFE parameters for user debugging

Hi Jiawen,

Overall set looks good, just to double check, is there anything to update in the 
release notes, can briefly mention from new device args perhaps?

Yeah, it should be.
I'd like to update the release notes in an individual patch, would it be appropriate?

It is preferred to have the doc update with the actual functional change patch, 
I see you have sent the doc as separate patch, I can squash it while merging.
