1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2020-05-21
This series contains updates to igc and e1000.
Andre cleans up code that was left over from the igb driver that handled
MAC address filters based on the source address, which is not currently
supported. Simplifies the MAC address filtering code and prepare the
igc driver for future source address support. Updated the MAC address
filter internal APIs to support filters based on source address. Added
support for Network Flow Classification (NFC) rules based on source MAC
address. Cleaned up the 'cookie' field which is not used anywhere in
the code and cleaned up a wrapper function that was not needed.
Simplified the filtering code for readability and aligned the ethtool
functions, so that function names were consistent.
Alex provides a fix for e1000 to resolve a deadlock issue when NAPI is
being disabled.
Sasha does additional cleanup of the igc driver of dead code that is not
used or needed.
v2: Fix the function header comment in patch 3 of the series, based on
the feedback from Jakub Kicinski.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
