RE: [PATCH net-next v7 02/12] net: dsa: microchip: add IPV information support

[Woojung.Huh]

Hi Oleksij,

Thanks for the patch and sorry about late comment on this.

I have a comment on the name of IPV (Internal Priority Value)
IPV is added and used term in 802.1Qci PSFP
(https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8064221) and, merged into 802.1Q (from 802.1Q-2018)
for another functions. 

Even it does similar operation holding temporal priority value internally (as it is named),
because KSZ datasheet doesn't use the term of IPV (Internal Priority Value) and
avoiding any confusion later when PSFP is in the Linux world,
I would like to recommend a different name such as IPM (Internal Priority Mapping) than IPV.

How do you think?

Best regards,
Woojung
