I'm applying this.

I'm really disappointed in how the octeontx2 driver submission has done.

The Intel folks can get an entire new driver in with 2 series
of patches, we're on the 3rd or 4th here and the driver still
isn't completely enough to have basic functionality working.

This driver is huge, overly complicated, and is being submitted in a
very painful way.
