This does not compile because NPTPA_QUEUE_LEN_BYTES is
not present in net-next.

## Form letter - net-next-closed

[adapted from text by Jakub]

The merge window for v6.8 has begun and therefore net-next is closed
for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations.
We are currently accepting bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens on or after 22nd January.

RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.

See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/process/maintainer-netdev.html#development-cycle
