Since 'perout' holds the nanosecond value of the signal's period, it should be a 64-bit value. Current assumption is that it cannot be larger than 1 second. Signed-off-by:

Drivers using legacy PM have to manage PCI states and device's PM states themselves. They also need to take care of configuration registers. With improved and powerful support of generic PM, PCI Core takes care of above mentioned, device-independent, jobs. This driver makes use of PCI helper functions like pci_save/restore_state(), pci_enable/disable_device(), pci_set_power_state() and pci_set_master() to do required operations. In generic mode, they are no longer needed. Change function parameter in both .suspend() and .resume() to "struct device*" type. Use to_pci_dev() and dev_get_drvdata() to get "struct pci_dev*" variable and drv data. Compile-tested only. Signed-off-by:

Alexander Lobakin says: ==================== qed, qede: add support for new operating modes This series covers the support for the following: - new port modes; - loopback modes, previously missing; - new speed/link modes; - several FEC modes; - multi-rate transceivers; and also cleans up and optimizes several related parts of code. v3 (from [2]): - dropped custom link mode declaration; qed, qede and qedf switched to Ethtool link modes and definitions (#0001, #0002, per Andrew Lunn's suggestion); - exchange more .text size to .initconst and .ro_after_init in qede (#0003). v2 (from [1]): - added a patch (#0010) that drops discussed dead struct member; - addressed checkpatch complaints on #0014 (former #0013); - rebased on top of latest net-next; - no other changes.

Simplify and lighten qed_set_link() by declaring static link modes maps and populating them on module init. This way we save plenty of text size at the low expense of __ro_after_init and __initconst data (the latter will be purged after module init is done). Misc: sanitize exit callback. Signed-off-by:

Currently qed driver does not take into consideration transceiver's capabilities when generating link partner's speed advertisement. This leads to e.g. incorrect ethtool link info on 10GbaseT modules. Use transceiver info not only for advertisement and support arrays, but also for link partner's abilities to fix it.

Currently qed driver already ran out of 32 bits to store link modes, and this doesn't allow to add and support more speeds. Convert custom link mode to generic Ethtool bitmap and definitions (convenient Phylink shorthands are used for elegance and readability). This allowed us to drop all conversions/mappings between the driver and Ethtool. This involves changes in qede and qedf as well, as they used definitions from shared "qed_if.h". Suggested-by:

Merge tag 'wireless-drivers-next-2020-07-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers-next Kalle Valo says: ==================== wireless-drivers-next patches for v5.9 First set of patches for v5.9. This comes later than usual as I was offline for two weeks. The biggest change here is moving Microchip wilc1000 driver from staging. There was an immutable topic branch with one commit moving the whole driver and the topic branch was pulled both to staging-next and wireless-drivers-next. At the moment the only reported conflict is in MAINTAINERS file, so I'm hoping the move should go smoothly. Other notable changes are ath11k getting 6 GHz band support and rtw88 supporting RTL8821CE. And there's also the usual fixes, API changes and cleanups all over. Major changes: wilc1000 * move from drivers/staging to drivers/net/wireless/microchip ath11k * add 6G band support * add spectral scan support iwlwifi * make FW reconfiguration quieter by not using warn level rtw88 * add support for RTL8821CE ==================== Signed-off-by:

Nicolas Ferre says: ==================== net: macb: Wake-on-Lan magic packet GEM and MACB handling Here is the second part of support for WoL magic-packet on the current macb driver. This one is addressing the bulk of the feature and is based on current net-next/master. MACB and GEM code must co-exist and as they don't share exactly the same register layout, I had to specialize a bit the suspend/resume paths and plug a specific IRQ handler in order to avoid overloading the "normal" IRQ hot path. These changes were tested on both sam9x60 which embeds a MACB+FIFO controller and sama5d2 which has a GEM+packet buffer type of controller. Best regards, Nicolas Changes in v7: - Release the spinlock before exiting macb_suspend/resume in case of error changing IRQ handler Changes in v6: - rebase on net-next/master now that the "fixes" patches of the series are merged in both net and net-next. - GEM addition and MACB update to finish the support of WoL magic-packet on the two revisions of the controller. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Adapt the Wake-on-Lan feature to the Cadence GEM Ethernet controller. This controller has different register layout and cannot be handled by previous code. We disable completely interrupts on all the queues but the queue 0. Handling of WoL interrupt is done in another interrupt handler positioned depending on the controller version used, just between suspend() and resume() calls. It allows to lower pressure on the generic interrupt hot path by removing the need to handle 2 tests for each IRQ: the first figuring out the controller revision, the second for actually knowing if the WoL bit is set.

Florian Fainelli says: ==================== net: dsa: Setup dsa_netdev_ops This patch series addresses the overloading of a DSA CPU/management interface's netdev_ops for the purpose of providing useful information from the switch side. Up until now we had duplicated the existing netdev_ops structure and added specific function pointers to return information of interest. Here we have a more controlled way of doing this by involving the specific netdev_ops function pointers that we want to be patched, which is easier for auditing code in the future. As a byproduct we can now maintain netdev_ops pointer comparisons which would be failing before (no known in tree problems because of that though). Let me know if this approach looks reasonable to you and we might do the same with our ethtool_ops overloading as well. Changes in v2: - use static inline int vs. static int inline (Kbuild robot) - fixed typos in patch 4 (Andrew) - avoid using macros (Andrew) ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Now that we have all the infrastructure in place for calling into the dsa_ptr->netdev_ops function pointers, install them when we configure the DSA CPU/management interface and tear them down.

Vladimir Oltean says: ==================== Fully describe the waveform for PTP periodic output While using the ancillary pin functionality of PTP hardware clocks to synchronize multiple DSA switches on a board, a need arised to be able to configure the duty cycle of the master of this PPS hierarchy. Also, the PPS master is not able to emit PPS starting from arbitrary absolute times, so a new flag is introduced to support such hardware without making guesses. With these patches, struct ptp_perout_request now basically describes a general-purpose square wave. Changes in v2: Made sure this applies to net-next. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

For PPS output (perout period is 1.000000000), accept the new "phase" parameter from the periodic output request structure. For both PPS and freeform output, accept the new "on" argument for specifying the duty cycle of the generated signal. Preserve the old defaults for this "on" time: 1 us for PPS, and half the period for freeform output. Also preserve the old behavior that accepted the "phase" via the "start" argument. Signed-off-by:

Some PHCs like the ocelot/felix switch cannot emit generic periodic output, but just PPS (pulse per second) signals, which: - don't start from arbitrary absolute times, but are rather phase-aligned to the beginning of [the closest next] second. - have an optional phase offset relative to that beginning of the second. For those, it was initially established that they should reject any other absolute time for the PTP_PEROUT_REQUEST than 0.000000000 [1]. But when it actually came to writing an application [2] that makes use of this functionality, we realized that we can't really deal generically with PHCs that support absolute start time, and with PHCs that don't, without an explicit interface. Namely, in an ideal world, PHC drivers would ensure that the "perout.start" value written to hardware will result in a functional output. This means that if the PTP time has become in the past of this PHC's current time, it should be automatically fast-forwarded by the driver into a close enough future time that is known to work (note: this is necessary only if the hardware doesn't do this fast-forward by itself). But we don't really know what is the status for PHC drivers in use today, so in the general sense, user space would be risking to have a non-functional periodic output if it simply asked for a start time of 0.000000000. So let's introduce a flag for this type of reduced-functionality hardware, named PTP_PEROUT_PHASE. The start time is just "soon", the only thing we know for sure about this signal is that its rising edge events, Rn, occur at: Rn = perout.phase + n * perout.period The "phase" in the periodic output structure is simply an alias to the "start" time, since both cannot logically be specified at the same time. Therefore, the binary layout of the structure is not affected.
