Re: [PATCH] vdpa: merge functionally duplicated dev_features attributes

[Si-Wei Liu]

Ping with friendly reminder...

Could this simple patch be pulled to 6.1 as a follow-up fix before the 
release? Looks like the VDPA_ATTR_VDPA_DEV_SUPPORTED_FEATURES to be 
removed had been pulled by iproute prematurely, though no actual 
userspace code is referencing it as yet. Actually it already hinders 
further vdpa tool development and iproute integration around 
VDPA_ATTR_DEV_FEATURES...

Thanks,
