Hi,

After installing Centos8.2 on Marvell CN9132 based platform I noticed
that compared to altarch7-aarch64 support the Marvell MVPP2 NIC
support was dropped.

In order to enable it we would need to add
CONFIG_ARCH_MVEBU=y
CONFIG_MVPP2=m
to the SOURCES/kernel-aarch64.config & SOURCES/kernel-aarch64-debug.config

What are the steps to achieve that? Centos altarch7 had a described
procedure for submitting the kernel patches, but that seems to be
changed in the new distro version.

Best regards,
Marcin
