   Added support for firmwares with multiple Ethernet ports per physical port.
 
+* **Add Generic Receive Offload API support.**
+
+  Generic Receive Offload (GRO) API supports to reassemble TCP/IPv4
+  packets. GRO API assumes all inputted packets are with correct
+  checksums. GRO API doesn't update checksums for merged packets. If
+  inputted packets are IP fragmented, GRO API assumes they are complete
+  packets (i.e. with L4 headers).
