Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== Netronome NFP4000 and NFP6000 PF driver This is a base PF driver for Netronome NFP4000 and NFP6000 chips. This series doesn't add any exciting new features, it provides a foundation for supporting more advanced firmware applications. Patch 1 moves a bitfield-related helper from our BPF code to the global header. Patch 2 renames the kernel module and adds a new main file. We were considering 3-module approach (pf, vf, common netdev library) but ultimately settled on a single module to keep things simple. Patch 3 adds support for accessing chip internals. It provides a way of configuring access windows to different parts of chip memory and issuing pretty much any commands on chip's NoC. Patches 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 provide support for accessing and interpreting various hardware and firmware information structures. Patch 9 introduces service processor (NSP) ABI. This ABI gives us access to PHY/SFP module configuration and information as well as methods for unloading and loading application firmware. Patches 10 and 11 modify the existing netdev code to make it possible to support multi-port devices (sharing a PCI device). Patch 12 adds a new driver probe path which will be used for the PF PCI device IDs. It utilizes the newly added infrastructure and is able to load application FW and spawn netdevs for all card's ports. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
