This entire series (except for one patch from Alex) comes from Mark and is mainly to add support for our new MAC (x550em_a). So let's get Alex's patch out of the way first before we cover Mark's many changes. Alex does his enable bulk free in transmit cleanup for ixgbe and ixgbevf, like his has done for all of our other drivers. First Mark cleans up registers that were not being used, so do some house cleaning. Then to avoid casting lan_id and func fields, just make them u8 since they only hold small values anyways. Found and fixed an issue where on read operations it could be possible to modify locations beyond the length passed in, so change the check to round up in the same way. Cleaned up the interface for issuing firmware commands to use a void * instead of a u32 * which eliminates a number of casts. Added support for the new MAC and provided method pointers and use them to access IOSF-attached devices, since the new MAC will also need a new access method. Added support for SFPs with an external retimer and for an SGMII backplane interface. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- 70f767d3afa9b2cd447b3dfc33c2751833dce931
