Re: [RESEND Patch v6 0/2] add performance reporting support to FPGA DFL drivers

[Wu Hao]

Hi Will

I resend this patch per suggestion from Greg.

Actually this is one important feature for users, but was blocked by
code review for quite a long time (no comments since last November).

We really need your help on code review from perf, please help us..

Many Thanks!

Hao
