This is a preparation patch for the upcoming support to change the bitrate via ip tool, reset the adapter error states via the ethtool API and, more generally, send commands to the adapter. Since the close command (i. e. "C\r") will be sent in the ndo_stop() where netif_running() returns false, a new flag bit (i. e. SLF_XCMD) for serial transmission has to be added.

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.
