Merge branch 'MCTP-flow-support'
Jeremy Kerr says:
====================
MCTP flow support
For certain MCTP transport bindings, the binding driver will need to be
aware of request/response pairing. For example, the i2c binding may need
to set multiplexer configuration when expecting a response from a device
behind a mux.
This series implements a mechanism for informing the driver about these
flows, so it can implement transport-specific behaviour when a flow is
in progress (ie, a response is expected, and/or we time-out on that
expectation). We use a skb extension to notify the driver about the
presence of a flow, and a new dev->ops callback to notify about a flow's
destruction.
