Christian Marangi says: ==================== net: dsa: qca8k: code split for qca8k This is needed ad ipq4019 SoC have an internal switch that is based on qca8k with very minor changes. The general function is equal. Because of this we split the driver to common and specific code. As the common function needs to be moved to a different file to be reused, we had to convert every remaining user of qca8k_read/write/rmw to regmap variant. We had also to generilized the special handling for the ethtool_stats function that makes use of the autocast mib. (ipq4019 will have a different tagger and use mmio so it could be quicker to use mmio instead of automib feature) And we had to convert the regmap read/write to bulk implementation to drop the special function that makes use of it. This will be compatible with ipq4019 and at the same time permits normal switch to use the eth mgmt way to send the entire ATU table read/write in one go. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220727113523.19742-1-ansuelsmth@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
