net: phylink: support !autoneg configuration for SFPs
This series comes from discussion during a patch series that was posted
at the beginning of April, but these patches were never posted (I was
too busy!)
We restrict ->sfp_interfaces to those that the host system supports,
and ensure that ->sfp_interfaces is cleared when a SFP is removed. We
then add phylink_sfp_select_interface_speed() which will select an
appropriate interface from ->sfp_interfaces for the speed, and use that
in our phylink_ethtool_ksettings_set() when a SFP bus is present on a
directly connected host (not with a PHY.)

Introducing Broadcom BNGE Ethernet Driver
This patch series introduces the Ethernet driver for Broadcom’s
BCM5770X chip family, which supports 50/100/200/400/800 Gbps
link speeds. The driver is built as the bng_en.ko kernel module.
To keep the series within a reviewable size (~5K lines of code), this initial
submission focuses on the core infrastructure and initialization, including:
1) PCIe support (device IDs, probe/remove)
2) Devlink support
3) Firmware communication mechanism
4) Creation of network device
5) PF Resource management (rings, IRQs, etc. for netdev & aux dev)
Support for Tx/Rx datapaths, link management, ethtool/devlink operations
and additional features will be introduced in the subsequent patch series.
The bng_en driver shares the bnxt_hsi.h file with the bnxt_en driver,
as the bng_en driver leverages the hardware communication protocol
used by the bnxt_en driver.

Query resources from the firmware and, based on the
availability of resources, initialize the default
settings. The default settings include:
1. Rings and other resource reservations with the
firmware. This ensures that resources are reserved
before network and auxiliary devices are created.
2. Mapping the BAR, which helps access doorbells since
its size is known after querying the firmware.
3. Retrieving the TCs and hardware CoS queue mappings.

These functions will help netdev reserve the resources
with the firmware before registering the device in future
patches. The resources and their information, such as
the maximum available and reserved, are part of the members
present in the bnge_hw_resc struct.
The bnge_reserve_rings() function also populates

Future patches will use these functions to send the
messages to the firmware.
Functions support allocating request/response buffers
to send a particular command. Each command has certain
timeout value to which the driver waits for response from
the firmware. In error case, commands may be either timed
out waiting on response from the firmware or may return
a specific error code.

netpoll: Factor out functions from netpoll_send_udp() and add ipv6 selftest
Refactors the netpoll UDP transmit path to improve code clarity,
maintainability, and protocol-layer encapsulation.
Function netpoll_send_udp() has more than 100 LoC, which is hard to
understand and review. After this patchset, it has only 32 LoC, which is
more manageable.
The series systematically moves the construction of protocol headers
(UDP, IPv4, IPv6, Ethernet) out of the core `netpoll_send_udp()`
function into dedicated static helpers:
- `push_udp()` for UDP header setup
- `push_ipv4()` and `push_ipv6()` for IP header setup
- `push_eth()` for Ethernet header setup
This results in a clean, layered abstraction that mirrors the protocol
stack, reduces code duplication, and improves readability.
Also, to make sure this is not breaking anything, add IPv6 selftest to
netconsole tests, which will exercise this code. This test would also pick
problems similiar to the one fixed by f599020702 ("net: netpoll:
Initialize UDP checksum field before checksumming"), which was
embarrassin we didn't have a selftest catch it.
Anyway, there are **no functional changes** intended in this patchset.

Add IPv6 support to the netconsole basic functionality tests by:
- Introducing separate IPv4 and IPv6 address variables (SRCIP4/SRCIP6,
DSTIP4/DSTIP6) to replace the single SRCIP/DSTIP variables
- Adding select_ipv4_or_ipv6() function to choose protocol version
- Updating socat configuration to use UDP6-LISTEN for IPv6 tests
- Adding wait_for_port() wrapper to handle protocol-specific port waiting
- Expanding test matrix to run both basic and extended formats against
both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols
- Improving cleanup to kill any remaining socat processes
- Adding sleep delays for better IPv6 packet handling reliability
The test now validates netconsole functionality across both IP versions,
improving test coverage for dual-stack network environments.
This test would avoid the regression fixed by commit f599020702 ("net:

net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: improve device tree handling
This series further improves the mtk_eth_soc driver in preparation to
complete upstream support for the MediaTek MT7988 SoC family.
Frank Wunderlich's previous attempt to have the ethernet node included
in mt7988a.dtsi and cover support for MT7988 in the device tree bindings
was criticized for the way mtk_eth_soc references SRAM in device tree[1].
Having a 2nd 'reg' property, like introduced by commit ebb1e4f9cf
("net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: add support for in-SoC SRAM") isn't
acceptable and a dedicated "mmio-sram" node should be used instead.
In order to make the code more clean and readable, the existing
hardcoded offsets for the scratch ring, RX and TX rings are dropped in
favor of using the generic allocator. However, support for the hardcoded
offset of the SRAM itself being included as part of the Ethernet's "reg"
MMIO space is kept as it will still be required in order to support
existing legacy device trees of the MT7986 SoC family.
While at it also replace confusing error messages when using legacy
device trees without "interrupt-names" with a warning informing users
that they are using a legacy device tree.

When a packet enters OVS datapath and there is no flow to handle it,
packet goes to userspace through a MISS upcall. With per-CPU upcall
dispatch mechanism, we're using the current CPU id to select the
Netlink PID on which to send this packet. This allows us to send
packets from the same traffic flow through the same handler.
The handler will process the packet, install required flow into the
kernel and re-inject the original packet via OVS_PACKET_CMD_EXECUTE.
While handling OVS_PACKET_CMD_EXECUTE, however, we may hit a
recirculation action that will pass the (likely modified) packet
through the flow lookup again. And if the flow is not found, the
packet will be sent to userspace again through another MISS upcall.
However, the handler thread in userspace is likely running on a
different CPU core, and the OVS_PACKET_CMD_EXECUTE request is handled
in the syscall context of that thread. So, when the time comes to
send the packet through another upcall, the per-CPU dispatch will
choose a different Netlink PID, and this packet will end up processed
by a different handler thread on a different CPU.
The process continues as long as there are new recirculations, each
time the packet goes to a different handler thread before it is sent
out of the OVS datapath to the destination port. In real setups the
number of recirculations can go up to 4 or 5, sometimes more.
There is always a chance to re-order packets while processing upcalls,
because userspace will first install the flow and then re-inject the
original packet. So, there is a race window when the flow is already
installed and the second packet can match it and be forwarded to the
destination before the first packet is re-injected. But the fact that
packets are going through multiple upcalls handled by different
userspace threads makes the reordering noticeably more likely, because
we not only have a race between the kernel and a userspace handler
(which is hard to avoid), but also between multiple userspace handlers.
For example, let's assume that 10 packets got enqueued through a MISS
upcall for handler-1, it will start processing them, will install the
flow into the kernel and start re-injecting packets back, from where
they will go through another MISS to handler-2. Handler-2 will install
the flow into the kernel and start re-injecting the packets, while
handler-1 continues to re-inject the last of the 10 packets, they will
hit the flow installed by handler-2 and be forwarded without going to
the handler-2, while handler-2 still re-injects the first of these 10
packets. Given multiple recirculations and misses, these 10 packets
may end up completely mixed up on the output from the datapath.
Let's allow userspace to specify on which Netlink PID the packets
should be upcalled while processing OVS_PACKET_CMD_EXECUTE.
This makes it possible to ensure that all the packets are processed
by the same handler thread in the userspace even with them being
upcalled multiple times in the process. Packets will remain in order
since they will be enqueued to the same socket and re-injected in the
same order. This doesn't eliminate re-ordering as stated above, since
we still have a race between kernel and the userspace thread, but it
allows to eliminate races between multiple userspace threads.
Userspace knows the PID of the socket on which the original upcall is
received, so there is no need to send it up from the kernel.
Solution requires storing the value somewhere for the duration of the
packet processing. There are two potential places for this: our skb
extension or the per-CPU storage. It's not clear which is better,
so just following currently used scheme of storing this kind of things
along the skb. We still have a decent amount of space in the cb.

ptp: Provide support for auxiliary clocks for PTP_SYS_OFFSET_EXTENDED
This is a follow up to the V1 series, which can be found here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250626124327.667087805@linutronix.de
to address the merge logistics problem, which I created myself.
Changes vs. V1:
- Make patch 1, which provides the timestamping function temporarily
define CLOCK_AUX* if undefined so that it can be merged independently,
- Add a missing check for CONFIG_POSIX_AUX_CLOCK in the PTP IOCTL
- Picked up tags
Merge logistics if agreed on:
1) Patch #1 is applied to the tip tree on top of plain v6.16-rc1 and
tagged
2) That tag is merged into tip:timers/ptp and the temporary CLOCK_AUX
define is removed in a subsequent commit
3) Network folks merge the tag and apply patches #2 + #3
So the only fallout from this are the extra merges in both trees and the
cleanup commit in the tip tree. But that way there are no dependencies and
no duplicate commits with different SHAs.
Thoughts?
Due to the above constraints there is no branch offered to pull from right
now. Sorry for the inconveniance. Should have thought about that earlier.

Allow ioctl(PTP_SYS_OFFSET_EXTENDED*) to select CLOCK_AUX clock ids for
generating the pre and post hardware readout timestamps.
Aside of adding these clocks to the clock ID validation, this also requires
to check the timestamp to be valid, i.e. the seconds value being greater
than or equal zero. This is necessary because AUX clocks can be
asynchronously enabled or disabled, so there is no way to validate the
availability upfront.
The same could have been achieved by handing the return value of
ktime_get_aux_ts64() all the way down to the IOCTL call site, but that'd
require to modify all existing ptp::gettimex64() callbacks and their inner
call chains. The timestamp check achieves the same with less churn and less
complicated code all over the place.

Replace the inline switch case with a call to ktime_get_clock_ts64(), which
