Aviad Krawczyk says:

====================
Huawei HiNIC Ethernet Driver

The patch-set contains the support of the HiNIC Ethernet driver for
hinic family of PCIE Network Interface Cards.

The Huawei's PCIE HiNIC card is a new Ethernet card and hence there was
a need of a new driver.

The current driver is meant to be used for the Physical Function and there
would soon be a support for Virtual Function and more features once the
basic PF driver has been accepted.
