Merge branch 'mlxsw-preparations-for-nexthop-objects-support-part-1-2'
Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Preparations for nexthop objects support - part 1/2 This patch set contains small and non-functional changes aimed at making it easier to support nexthop objects in mlxsw. Follow up patches can be found here [1]. Patches #1-#4 add a type field to the nexthop group struct instead of the existing protocol field. This will be used later on to add a nexthop object type, which can contain both IPv4 and IPv6 nexthops. Patches #5-#7 move the IPv4 FIB info pointer (i.e., 'struct fib_info') from the nexthop group struct to the route. The pointer will not be available when the nexthop group is a nexthop object, but it needs to be accessible to routes regardless. Patch #8 is the biggest change, but it is an entirely cosmetic change and should therefore be easy to review. The motivation and the change itself are explained in detail in the commit message. Patches #9-#12 perform small changes so that two functions that are currently split between IPv4 and IPv6 could be consolidated in patches Patch #15 removes an outdated comment.
