It's not a precondition. Let me give some context.
This patch series adds support for a new Hyper DMA(HDMA) MAC from Synopsis.
Many of the netdev community members reviewed the patches at that time.
Being the module maintainer at that time, Serge took the initiative to
guide us through integrating the new MAC into the stmmac driver.
We addressed all the review comments and submitted the last patch series.
Without an official maintainer, we didn't get feedback on the last patch series.
Because of this, we wanted to wait until a new maintainer is assigned
to this module.
As Abhishek expressed in his email, it appears the HDMA MAC is
becoming more mainstream.
We are hoping to rebase the patch series and resubmit for review if
netdev team members show interest.
Thanks,
Jitendra
