Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2020-04-19 This series contains updates to e1000e and igc only. Sasha adds new device IDs supported by the igc driver. Vitaly fixes the S0ix entry and exit flows in e1000e for TGP and newer MAC types when a cable is connected. Andre has the remaining changes in the series, starting with cleanup of the igc driver of duplicate code. Added a check for IGC_MAC_STATE_SRC_ADDR flag which is unsupported for MAC filters in igc. Cleaned up the return values for igc_add_mac_filter(), where the return value was not being used, so update the function to only return success or failure. Fix the return value of igc_uc_unsync() as well. Refactor the igc driver in several functions to help reduce the convoluted logic and simplify the driver filtering mechanisms. Improve the MAC address checks when adding a MAC filter. Lastly, improve the log messages related to MAC address filtering to ease debugging. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
