I am looking at tc/mqprio and dcb with the purpose of implementing 

  - Forwarding and Queuing Enhancements for Time-Sensitive Streams (FQTSS)
    802.1Q-2014 Clause 34

  - Scheduled Traffic (time based scheduling)
    P802.1Qbv

using the HW capabilities of the i210.  This series looks like a
promising avenue for these features.

My question is, did series go anywhere?

I didn't see any follow ups on netdev, but maybe I missed something.

Thanks,
Richard
