controller to provide more information on the selection method for select
groups. This proposal is in the form of an enhanced select group type.

A new Netronome group experimenter property is defined which provides

(also known as ONF EXT-350) and allows parameters for the selection
method of select groups to be passed by the controller. In particular it
allows controllers to:
The Experimenter ID of this extension is:
-NTR_VENDOR_ID = 0x00001540

4. Group Experimenter Property
The following group property experimenter type defined by this extension.
enum ntr_group_mod_subtype {
- NTRT_SELECTION_METHOD = 1,
+ NTRT_SELECTION_METHOD = 1,
};

-have properties.
