+* ethdev: A work is being planned for 18.05 to expose VF port representors
+ as a mean to perform control and data path operation on the different VFs.
+ As VF representor is an ethdev port, new fields are needed in order to map
+ between the VF representor and the VF or the parent PF. Those new fields
+ are to be included in ``rte_eth_dev_info`` struct.
+
+* ethdev: The prototype and the behavior of
+ ``dev_ops->eth_mac_addr_set()`` will change in v18.05. A return code
+ will be added to notify the caller if an error occurred in the PMD. In
+ ``rte_eth_dev_default_mac_addr_set()``, the new default MAC address
+ will be copied in ``dev->data->mac_addrs[0]`` only if the operation is
+ successful. This modification will only impact the PMDs, not the
+ applications.
