====================
ethtool mm API consolidation
This series consolidates the behavior of the 2 drivers that implement
the ethtool MAC Merge layer by making NXP ENETC commit its preemptible
traffic classes to hardware only when MM TX is active (same as Ocelot).
Then, after resolving an issue with the ENETC driver, it restricts user
space from entering 2 states which don't make sense:
- pmac-enabled off tx-enabled on verify-enabled *
- pmac-enabled * tx-enabled off verify-enabled on
Then, it introduces a selftest (ethtool_mm.sh) which puts everything
together and tests all valid configurations known to me.
This is simultaneously the v2 of "[PATCH net-next 0/2] ethtool mm API
improvements":
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230415173454.3970647-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/
which had caused some problems to openlldp. Those were solved in the
meantime, see:
11171b474f
and of "[RFC PATCH net-next] selftests: forwarding: add a test for MAC
Merge layer":

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.
