Bjørn Mork says: ==================== r8152: allow firmwares with NCM support Some device and firmware combinations with NCM support will end up using the cdc_ncm driver by default. This is sub- optimal for the same reasons we've previously accepted the blacklist hack in cdc_ether. The recent support for subclassing the generic USB device driver allows us to create a very slim driver with the same functionality. This patch set uses that to implement a device specific configuration default which is independent of any USB interface drivers. This means that it works equally whether the device initially ends up in NCM or ECM mode, without depending on any code in the respective class drivers. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
