This series has status "Needs ACK". For which part an ACK is needed? Regarding the fec driver: The mail to Fugang, the current fec maintainer, bounced and Joakim confirmed that he left NXP. Joakim will take over, see https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210409091145.27488-1-qiangqing.zh...@nxp.com/ Joakim also tested the patch. Heiner
