Re: [PATCH V2 2/3] vdpa_sim_net: support feature provisioning

Hi Michael,

Noticed that you just merged this series that we now got two nominally duplicated attributes: VDPA_ATTR_VDPA_DEV_SUPPORTED_FEATURES and VDPA_ATTR_DEV_FEATURES. I think Jason agreed to remove one of them but did not get chance to post a new series to catch up with the merge window. Do you mind if I post a format patch similar as below to rectify this quickly from linux-next, without unnecessarily getting the dup exposed to the uAPI?

Thanks,
-Siwei

VDPA_ATTR_DEV_FEATURES are equivalent, we can rebase on each other if
it is needed.

Thanks
