> [Fix]
>
> Add drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/* to the inclusion-list and change
> CONFIG_IDPF to build the driver as a loadable module rather than a
> built-in. The j:gcp-6.8 patch only changes the inclusion-list because

> [Test Plan]

> List files in the linux-modules package and verify that idpf.ko is there.

> [Regression potential]
>
> The regression potential is very low since we are provably moving a
> module to linux-modules.

Since this is not a backport, I think it is missing UBUNTU: prefixes
before the commit messages?
Not directly sending an NAK because I am not sure.
Thanks.
Agathe.
