0acf167687 net: stmmac: add platform init/exit for Altera's ARM socfpga
This patch adds platform init/exit functions and modifications to support
suspend/resume for the Altera Cyclone 5 SOC Ethernet controller. The platform
exit function puts the controller into reset using the socfpga reset
controller driver. The platform init function sets up the Synopsys mac by
first making sure the Ethernet controller is held in reset, programming the
phy mode through external support logic, then deasserts reset through
the socfpga reset manager driver.

f46d53d0e9 defxx: Remove an incorrectly inverted preprocessor conditional
The RX handler of the driver has two paths switched between, depending on
the size of the frame received, as determined by SKBUFF_RX_COPYBREAK.

When a small frame is received, a new skb allocated has data space large
enough to hold the incoming frame only, and data is copied there from the
original skb whose buffer is returned to the DMA RX ring; in that case
`rx_in_place' is 0.  When a large frame is received, a new skb allocated
has data space large enough to hold the largest frame possible, including
the overhead for alignment, the receive status and padding, over 4.5kiB
overall, and its buffer is placed on the DMA RX ring while the original
buffer is passed up to the network stack avoiding the need to copy data;
in that case `rx_in_place' is 1.

However the latter scenario is only possible when dynamic buffers are
used, as determined by DYNAMIC_BUFFERS, because otherwise the buffers used
for the DMA RX ring are fixed at the time the interface is brought up.

That leads to an observation that the preprocessor conditional around the
`rx_in_place' check is inverted, the check only really matters when
dynamic buffers are in use.  It has gone unnoticed for many years since
support for using dynamic buffers on the DMA RX ring was introduced in
2.1.40 -- because the only problem that results is in the case where
`rx_in_place' is 1 frame data received is unnecessarily copied to the
newly-allocated buffer, before the buffer placed on the the DMA receive RX
and its contents ignored.  Therefore the only symptom is some performance
loss.

Rather than flipping the condition though I decided to discard the
conditional altogether -- in the case of static buffers `rx_in_place' is
always 0 so GCC will optimise the C conditional away instead.

Tested on a few DEFPA and DEFTA boards successfully using both small and
large frames, both with DYNAMIC_BUFFERS defined and with the macro
undefined.

d9daa24720 net: fix circular dependency in of_mdio code
Commit 86f6cf4127 (net: of_mdio: add of_mdiobus_link_phydev()) introduced a
circular dependency between libphy and of_mdio.

depmod: ERROR: <modroot>/kernel/drivers/net/phy/libphy.ko in
dependency cycle!
depmod: ERROR: <modroot>/kernel/drivers/of/of_mdio.ko in dependency cycle!

The problem is that of_mdio.c references &mdio_bus_type and libphy now
references of_mdiobus_link_phydev.

Fix this by not exporting of_mdiobus_link_phydev() from of_mdio.ko.
Make it a static function in mdio_bus.c instead.

Please pull the following batch of fixes for the 3.16 stream...

For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"We have a fix from Eliad for a time calculation, a fix from Max for
head/tailroom when sending authentication packets, a revert that Felix
requested since the patch in question broke regulatory and a fix from
myself for an issue with a new command that we advertised in the wrong
place."

For the bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:

"A few fixes for 3.16. This pull request contains a NULL dereference fix,
and some security/pairing fixes."

For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:

"I have here a fix from Eliad for scheduled scan: it fixes a firmware
assertion. Arik reverts a patch I made that didn't take into account
that 3160 doesn't have UAPSD and hence, we can't assume that all
newer firmwares support the feature. Here too, the visible effect
is a firmware assertion. Along with that, we have a few fixes and
additions to the device list."

For the ath10k bits, Kalle says:

"Bartosz fixed an issue where we were not able to create 8 vdevs when
using DFS. Michal removed a false warning which was just confusing
people."

On top of that...

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-07-01

This series contains updates to i40e, i40evf, igb and ixgbe.

Shannon adds the Base Address High and Low to the admin queue structure
to simplify the logic in the configuration routines.  Also adds code to
clear all queues and interrupts to help clean up after a PXE or other
early boot activity.

Kevin fixes mask assignment value since -1 cannot be used for unsigned
integer types.

Mitch fixes an issue where in some circumstances the reply from the PF
would come back before we were able to properly modify the admin queue
pending and required flags.  This would mess up the flags and put the
driver in an indeterminate state, so fix this by simply setting the flags
before sending the request to the admin queue.  Also changes the branding
string for i40evf to reduce confusion and to match up with our other
marketing materials.

Kamil adds a new variable defining admin send queue (ASQ) command write
back timeout to allow for dynamic modification of this timeout.

Anjali fix a bug in the flow director filter replay logic, so that we
call a replay after a sideband reset correctly.

Jesse adds code to initialize all members of the context descriptor to
prevent possible stale data.

Christopher fixes i40e to prevent writing to reserved bits, since the
queue index is only 0-127.

Jacob removes the unneeded header export.h from the i40e PTP code.
Fixes ixgbe PTP code where the PPS signal was not correct, as it
generates a one half HZ clock signal, it only generates one level
change per second.  To generate a full clock, we need two level changes
per second.

Todd provides a fix for igb to bring up link when the PHY has powered
up, which was reported by Jeff Westfahl.

0abfd1524b cxgb4: Use FW interface to get BAR0 value
Use the firmware interface to get the BAR0 value since we really don't want

Set up PCI-E Memory Window registers using the true values programmed into

Machine, the values returned by pci_resource_start() will be for the
synthetic PCI-E Configuration Space and not the real addresses. But we need
to program the PCI-E Memory Window address decoders with the real addresses
that we're going to be using in order to have accesses through the Memory
Windows work.

ebf457f931 bnx2x: Fail probe of VFs using an old incompatible driver
There are linux distributions where the inbox bnx2x driver contains SRIOV
support but doesn't contain the changes introduced in b9871bcf
"bnx2x: VF RSS support - PF side".

A VF in a VM running that distribution over a new hypervisor will access
incorrect addresses when trying to transmit packets, causing an attention
in the hypervisor and making that VF inactive until FLRed.

The driver in the VM has to ne upgraded [no real way to overcome this], but
due to the HW attention currently arising upgrading the driver in the VM
would not suffice [since the VF needs also be FLRed if the previous driver
was already loaded].

This patch causes the PF to fail the acquire message from a VF running an
old problematic driver; The VF will then gracefully fail it's probe preventing
the HW attention [and allow clean upgrade of driver in VM].

variable, that is returned by the probe function.
This can lead to the kernel thinking the probe function succeeds while it
didn't, and this in turn causes extra calls to the "remove" function.

This patch fix this problem by ensuring "err" variable is assigned to a proper
non-zero value in each exit path.

f4cf628781 rtl818x_pci: handle broken PIO mapping
All boards supported by this driver could work using PIO or MMIO for accessing
registers.
This driver tries to access HW by using MMIO, and, if this fails for somewhat
reason, the driver tries to fall back to PIO mode.

MMIO-mode is straightforward on all boards.
PIO-mode is straightforward on rtl8180 only.

On rtl8185 and rtl8187se boards not all registers are directly available in PIO
mode (they are paged).

On rtl8185 there are two pages and it is known how to switch page.
PIO mode works, except for only one access to a register out of default page,
recently added by me in the initialization code with patch:
rtl818x_pci: Fix rtl8185 excessive IFS after CTS-to-self
This can be easily fixed to work in both cases (MMIO and PIO).

On rtl8187se, for a number of reasons, there is much more work to do to fix PIO
access.
PIO access is currently broken on rtl8187se, and it never worked.

This patch fixes the said register write for rtl8185 and makes the driver to
fail cleanly if PIO mode is attempted with rtl8187se boards.

While doing this, I converted also a couple of printk(KERN_ERR) to dev_err(), in
order to make checkpatch happy.

fe67bcd4c8 rtl8180: disable buggy rate fallback mechanism
Currently the driver configures mac80211 to provide two rates for each TX frame:
One initial rate and one alternate fallback rate, each one with its retry count.

HW does not support fully this: rtl8180 doesn't have support for rate scaling at
all, and rtl8185/rtl8187SE supports it in a way that does not fit with mac80211:
The HW does automatically fall back to the next lower rate, and only a lower
limit can be specified, so the HW may TX also on rates in between the two rates
specified by mac80211.  Furthermore only the total TX retry count can be
specified for each packet, while the number of TX attempts before scaling rate
can be configured only globally (not per each packet).

Currently the driver sets the HW auto rate fallback mechanism to quickly scale
rate after a couple of retries, and it uses the alternate rate requested by
mac80211 as fallback limit rate (and it does this even wrongly).

The HW indeed will behave differently than what mac80211 mandates, that is
probably undesirable, and the reported TX retry count may not refer to what
mac80211 thinks, and this could fool mac80211.

This patch makes the driver to declare to mac80211 to support only one rate
configuration for each packet, and it does disable the HW auto rate fallback
mechanism, relying only on SW and letting mac80211 to do all by itself.

This should ensure correct operation and fairness respect to mac80211.
Indeed here tests with iperf do not show significant performance differences.

81129fce7e rtl8180: fix incorrect TX retry.
HW is programmed with wrong retry count value for TX:

Mac80211 passes to driver the number of times the TX should be attempted.
The HW, instead, wants the number of time the TX should be retried if it fails
the first time (assuming we have to TX it at least one time).

This patch correct this.

f82be7c46a rtl818x_pci: add comment pointing to the rtl8187se reference code
Rtl8187se support has been added to the rtl818x_pci driver by extracting a lot
of information from a rtl8187se Linux staging driver included in the kernel at
the time rtl8187se support was added.
The rtl818x_pci main file has a comment that advertises this.

Recently this staging driver has been removed from the kernel, but I still feel
it can be useful as "reference" code (in case of bugs, or to implement
improvements in rtl818x_pci driver).

This one-line patch adds a comment in rtl818x_pci driver to point people
searching for that "reference code" to the last kernel version still containing
it (3.14).

7df007243b rtl818x_pci: Fix rtl8185 excessive IFS after CTS-to-self
Measuring time between _end_ of CTS-to-self and _end_ of datapacket (with a
prism54 board and mac80211 hacked to let the MAC timestamp stay untouched in the
radiotap header) resulted in about 300uS, while the datapacket itself should be
by far shorter (less than 100uS) and IFS should be SIFS (10uS).
This measure was confirmed whith a scope: about 250uS IFS has been seen between
the two packets.

This situation causes the CTS-to-self protection mechanism to work incorrectly
due to the NAV expiring during, or even before beginning, the packet
transmission, and it also causes the performances to be anyway reduced due to
time waste.

This problem has been seen at every packet TXed with CTS-to-self enabled on
rtl8185 board.
rtl8187se seems not affected (and rtl8180, being a 802.11b card, does not have
CTS-to-self mechaninsm).

This patch fixes this by adding a magic register write, making the board wait
for correct SIFS after CTS-to-self packet.

1f622d76fa rtl818x_pci: Fix BSSID register written incorrectly
BSSID register was written with six byte-writes.
It seems that, similarly to what happens with MAC registers, they needs to be
written with one 16-bit and one 32-bit writes, otherwise the write does not work.

The byte write didn't work only on my rtl8185, while it worked on rtl8180 and
rtl8187se, BTW since there are probably a number of different ASIC revisions out
of there, I let the change to affect all cards.
It shouldn't hurt anyway.

The patch fixes a couple of issues:
- absence of deallocation of rsi_dev->rx_usb_urb[0] in the driver;
- potential NULL pointer dereference because of lack of checks for memory
  allocation success in rsi_init_usb_interface().

By the way, it makes rsi_probe() returning error code instead of 1
and fixes comments regarding returning values.
