Thanks for the feedback! With respect to <= 6 function arguments, if I
counted right the only violation is this:

static void do_config_cbs(struct mac_device_info *hw, u32 send_slope,
			  u32 idle_slope, u32 high_credit, u32 low_credit,
			  u32 queue, u32 etsx_ctrl_base_addr,
			  u32 send_slp_credx_base_addr,
			  u32 high_credx_base_addr, u32 low_credx_base_addr,
			  void (*set_mtl_tx_queue_weight)(struct mac_device_info *hw,
							  u32 weight, u32 queue))
(...)
static void emac3_config_cbs(struct mac_device_info *hw, u32 send_slope,
				    u32 idle_slope, u32 high_credit,
				    u32 low_credit, u32 queue)

I agree, that's quite gnarly to read. the emac3_config_cbs is the
callback, so it's already at 6 arguments, so there's nothing I can
trim there. I could create some struct for readability, populate that,
then call the do_config_cbs() func with it from emac3_config_cbs.
Is that the sort of thing you want to see?

Thanks,
Andrew
