Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: spectrum: Adjustments to port split and label port Jiri says: This patchset includes patches that prepare the driver to support modular systems. PLLP register is introduced to get front panel port label which is no longer equivalent to "module + 1" for modular systems, where the numbering is per line card. So far for all systems all front panel ports had same format and could be split to the same number of subports. This is no longer true for modular systems, where every line card can have different types of front panel ports. The PMTDB register is introduced to easily query FW for split capabilities of particular front panel port. It is generic for use in modular and non-modular systems. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
