i40iw iwarp driver registers with port mapper and uses its services. Beside

You are asked a question by reviewer and your reply is
(1) YES, I did C & P from driver X to my driver
(2) explaining why C&P is right goes beyond the scope of reviewing my driver
This isn't how things work in upstream.
If needed, talk to the upstream Intel networking folks, they can assist
you catching up on upstream practices.
