Is the intent also of this patch set to allow for an upgrade from 
Dizzy's QAT16 (2.2.x based) -> this version?  Or is there no upgrade 
path on the device for something already installed?

If it's intended as an upgrade then renaming from qat16 -> qat will 
allow for that to happen with out some additional METADATA, such as the 
PROVIDES_<pkg> / RPROVIDES_<pkg> and RREPLACES_<pkg>.


Are you coordinating with venkatasubramanianx.pattu at intel.com, who is 
working with the Dizzy based patches?  It seems that these should be 
sharing a similar base.  Maybe work together to review changes the changes.

The Dizzy based QAT recipes are using the correct $B and $S correctly, 
please consider looking at that.

I attempted to build your version here and it did not even unpack the 
QAT1.6/QAT1.6.L.2.3.0-34.tar.gz.

The do_install_prepend should not be doing a blind "cp -Pr ${B}/* ${D}".
