No problem, I am pushing an updated serie :  https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=5259

>One more thing, if there is a change in ABI, should you also increment the bbdev ABI version?

The bbdev ABI is still marked as __rte_experimental hence I don't believe we have yet to increment it. 

>Please also send a rebased version of your patchset, so that builds can be verified by CI. The dependent patches are applied on the sub-tree.

OK, I did this on the serie above. Note that the previous was already verified with CI since I kept the dependency within the previous serie. Still cleaner now, you should just have to apply the serie as is now. 

Thanks!
