Hi Kurt,

Thanks for the update. And I apologise that I now have question.

I see that:

* This patch moves logic from igc_tsn_disable_offload()
  and igc_tsn_enable_offload() to igc_tsn_enable_mqprio().

* That both igc_tsn_disable_offload() and igc_tsn_enable_offload()
  are only called from igc_tsn_reset().

* And that based on the description, this looks good for the case
  where igc_tsn_reset() is called from igc_tsn_offload_apply().
  This is because igc_tsn_offload_apply() is called from
  igc_tsn_enable_mqprio().

All good so far.

But my question is about the case where igc_tsn_reset() is called from
igc_reset(). Does the logic previously present in igc_tsn_enable_offload()
and igc_tsn_disable_offload() need to run in that case? And, if so,
how is that handled?
