[ Upstream commit 0fa81b304a7973a499f844176ca031109487dd31 ]
The NCM specification defines two formats of transfer blocks: with 16-bit
fields (NTB-16) and with 32-bit fields (NTB-32). Currently only NTB-16 is
implemented.
This patch adds the support of NTB-32. The motivation behind this is that
some devices such as E5785 or E5885 from the current generation of Huawei
LTE routers do not support NTB-16. The previous generations of Huawei
devices are also use NTB-32 by default.
Also this patch enables NTB-32 by default for Huawei devices.
During the 2019 ValdikSS made five attempts to contact Huawei to add the
NTB-16 support to their router firmware, but they were unsuccessful.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
