Transient build failure here:

drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/mtipsw/mtipl2sw.c:1072:32: warning: variable ‘priv’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
 1072 |         struct mtip_ndev_priv *priv;

I sent out the AI code reviews while at it, without looking at them.
So please approach them with caution..
