Re: [PATCH net] octeontx2-af: Fix representor flow rule PF_FUNC mask and channel In representor mode, an AF-installed TX rule must still match on PF_FUNC, so do not clear the mask when rep_mode is set. Also, do not overwrite a channel already provided in the request when the rule comes from a representor device; only default to the PF/VF rx_chan_base when none is given.

Hi!

This is an automated message. This series looks like a fix, but its
commit messages seem to be missing some information:

- How the issue was discovered, e.g. hit in production, hit during
development, syzbot report, manual code inspection, LLM or static
analysis tool scan.

- Whether the issue was actually triggered, or is only theoretical
(e.g. found by code inspection). If it was triggered please include
the symptoms, like the stack trace or error messages.

- What hardware the change was tested on. For driver fixes please
mention the device (and if relevant firmware version) used for
testing, or say that the change was not tested on real hardware.

Please do not repost the series just to address the above. Instead,
reply to this email with the missing information, so that reviewers
can take it into account. If the series needs another revision for
other reasons, please include the information in the commit messages
then.

The evaluation is done by an LLM so it may be wrong, if you think
that is the case please reply and explain.
