> BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2086212
> 
> [Impact]
> 
> Google requested the IDPF driver be changed from a built-in module to a
> loadable module in the linux-modules package.
> 
> [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
> it will receive the config change during the backport process.
> 
> [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.

> v2: Added UBUNTU: prefix to commit titles
