Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 100GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2020-03-21 Implement basic support for the devlink interface in the ice driver. Additionally pave some necessary changes for adding a devlink region that exposes the NVM contents. This series first contains 5 patches for enabling and implementing full NVM read access via the ETHTOOL_GEEPROM interface. This includes some cleanup of endian-types, a new function for reading from the NVM and Shadow RAM as a flat addressable space, a function to calculate the available flash size during load, and a change to how some of the NVM version fields are stored in the ice_nvm_info structure. Following this is 3 patches for implementing devlink support. First, one patch which implements the basic framework and introduces the ice_devlink.c file. Second, a patch to implement basic .info_get support. Finally, a patch which reads the device PBA identifier and reports it as the `board.id` value in the .info_get response. ==================== 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.
