When kernel.h is used in the headers it adds a lot into dependency hell,

Remove kernel.h when it is not needed.

Thanks for improving the NFP driver.

I think the contents of this patch looks good.

Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <simon.horman@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

I also think this patch is appropriate for net-next
("[PATCH net-next] ..." in subject) and should thus be re-submitted
once net-next re-opens for the v5.20 development cycle, which I would
expect to happen in the coming days, after v5.19-rc1 has been released.

I'm happy to handle re-submitting it if you prefer.


Hi,
if you don't mind, yes I prefer.

Dealing with timing of release cycles and prefix depending on where the patch should land is a bit too much for me.

Thank you for your help :)
