The conversion of all GPIO drivers to using the .set_rv() and
.set_multiple_rv() callbacks from struct gpio_chip (which - unlike their
predecessors - return an integer and allow the controller drivers to
indicate failures to users) is now complete and the legacy ones have
been removed. Rename the new callbacks back to their original names in
one sweeping change.

The PTP function of KSZ8463 is on by default. However, its proprietary
way of storing timestamp directly in a reserved field inside the PTP
message header is not suitable for use with the current Linux PTP stack
implementation. It is necessary to disable the PTP function to not
interfere the normal operation of the MAC.
Note the PTP driver for KSZ switches does not work for KSZ8463 and is not
activated for it.

KSZ8463 switch is a 3-port switch based from KSZ8863. Its major
difference from other KSZ SPI switches is its register access is not a
simple continual 8-bit transfer with automatic address increase but uses
a byte-enable mechanism specifying 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit access. Its
registers are also defined in 16-bit format because it shares a design
with a MAC controller using 16-bit access. As a result some common
register accesses need to be re-arranged.
This patch adds the basic structure for using KSZ8463. It cannot use the
same regmap table for other KSZ switches as it interprets the 16-bit
value as little-endian and its SPI commands are different.
KSZ8463 uses a byte-enable mechanism to specify 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit
access. The register is first shifted right by 2 then left by 4. Extra
4 bits are added. If the access is 8-bit one of the 4 bits is set. If
the access is 16-bit two of the 4 bits are set. If the access is 32-bit
all 4 bits are set. The SPI command for read or write is then added.
Because of this register transformation separate SPI read and write
functions are provided for KSZ8463.
KSZ8463's internal PHYs use standard PHY register definitions so there is
no need to remap things. However, the hardware has a bug that the high
word and low word of the PHY id are swapped. In addition the port
registers are arranged differently so KSZ8463 has its own mapping for
port registers and PHY registers. Therefore the PORT_CTRL_ADDR macro is
replaced with the get_port_addr helper function.

When KSZ8863 support was first added to KSZ driver the RX drop MIB
counter was somehow defined as 0x105. The TX drop MIB counter
starts at 0x100 for port 1, 0x101 for port 2, and 0x102 for port 3, so
the RX drop MIB counter should start at 0x103 for port 1, 0x104 for
port 2, and 0x105 for port 3.
There are 5 ports for KSZ8895, so its RX drop MIB counter starts at
0x105.

The main benefits are:
- it saves some memory at runtime
- the structures can be declared as 'const', which is always better for
structures that hold some function pointers
- the code is less verbose

In both the read callback for struct cyclecounter, and in struct
timecounter, struct cyclecounter is declared as a const pointer.
Unfortunatly, a number of users of this pointer treat it as a non-const
pointer as it is burried in a larger structure that is heavily modified by
the callback function when accessed. This lie had been hidden by the fact
that container_of() "casts away" a const attribute of a pointer without any
compiler warning happening at all.
Fix this all up by removing the const attribute in the needed places so
that everyone can see that the structure really isn't const, but can,
and is, modified by the users of it.

BCM5325 and BCM5365 are part of a much older generation of switches which,
due to their limited number of ports and VLAN entries (up to 256) allowed
a single 64-bit register to hold a full ARL entry.
This requires a little bit of massaging when reading, writing and
converting ARL entries in both directions.

When Linux sends out untagged traffic from a port, it will enter the CPU
port without any VLAN tag, even if the port is a member of a vlan
filtering bridge with a PVID egress untagged VLAN.
This makes the CPU port's PVID take effect, and the PVID's VLAN
table entry controls if the packet will be tagged on egress.
Since commit 45e9d59d39 ("net: dsa: b53: do not allow to configure
VLAN 0") we remove bridged ports from VLAN 0 when joining or leaving a
VLAN aware bridge. But we also clear the untagged bit, causing untagged
traffic from the controller to become tagged with VID 0 (and priority
0).
Fix this by not touching the untagged map of VLAN 0. Additionally,
always keep the CPU port as a member, as the untag map is only effective
as long as there is at least one member, and we would remove it when
bridging all ports and leaving no standalone ports.
Since Linux (and the switch) treats VLAN 0 tagged traffic like untagged,
the actual impact of this is rather low, but this also prevented earlier
detection of the issue.

ports where external PHYs may be connected. If one of these PHYs are EEE

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:
- Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.
- Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
faster.
- Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again
the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
scalability.
- Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
micro-benchmarks.
- Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
performance improvement in related stream tests.
- Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
on PREMPT_RT.
- Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.
Netfilter:
- Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still
use this interface.
- Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and
flowtables.
- Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.
- Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
introspection.
BPF:
- BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
using the "tc qdisc" command.
- Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.
Protocols:
- Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the
single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.
- Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.
- Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
matches the nexthop device.
- Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.
- Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
in the fast path.
- Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.
Driver API:
- Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
unsupported flags.
- Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.
- Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
dump operations targeting PHYs.
Tests and tooling:
- Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
qdisc layer configuration.
- Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
netlink output.
- Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.
- Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.
New hardware / drivers:
- OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to
the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the
user-space implementation.

Pull irq cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of cleanups for the generic interrupt subsystem:
- Consolidate on one set of functions for the interrupt domain code
to get rid of pointlessly duplicated code with only marginal
different semantics.
- Update the documentation accordingly and consolidate the coding
style of the irqdomain header"

The KSZ9477 switch driver uses the XPCS driver to operate its SGMII
port. However there are some hardware bugs in the KSZ9477 SGMII
module so workarounds are needed. There was a proposal to update the
XPCS driver to accommodate KSZ9477, but the new code is not generic
enough to be used by other vendors. It is better to do all these
workarounds inside the KSZ9477 driver instead of modifying the XPCS
driver.
There are 3 hardware issues. The first is the MII_ADVERTISE register
needs to be write once after reset for the correct code word to be
sent. The XPCS driver disables auto-negotiation first before
configuring the SGMII/1000BASE-X mode and then enables it back. The
KSZ9477 driver then writes the MII_ADVERTISE register before enabling
auto-negotiation. In 1000BASE-X mode the MII_ADVERTISE register will
be set, so KSZ9477 driver does not need to write it.
The second issue is the MII_BMCR register needs to set the exact speed
and duplex mode when running in SGMII mode. During link polling the
KSZ9477 will check the speed and duplex mode are different from
previous ones and update the MII_BMCR register accordingly.
The last issue is 1000BASE-X mode does not work with auto-negotiation
on. The cause is the local port hardware does not know the link is up
and so network traffic is not forwarded. The workaround is to write 2
additional bits when 1000BASE-X mode is configured.
Note the SGMII interrupt in the port cannot be masked. As that
interrupt is not handled in the KSZ9477 driver the SGMII interrupt bit
will not be set even when the XPCS driver sets it.
