Heiner Kallweit says: ==================== ethtool: switch EEE netlink interface to use EEE linkmode bitmaps So far only 32bit legacy bitmaps are passed to userspace. This makes it impossible to manage EEE linkmodes beyond bit 32, e.g. manage EEE for 2500BaseT and 5000BaseT. This series adds support for passing full linkmode bitmaps between kernel and userspace. Fortunately the netlink-based part of ethtool is quite smart and no changes are needed in ethtool. However this applies to the netlink interface only, the ioctl interface for now remains restricted to legacy bitmaps. Next step will be adding support for the c45 EEE2 standard registers (3.21, 7.62, 7.63) to the genphy_c45 functions dealing with EEE. I have a follow-up series for this ready to be submitted. v2: - now as RFC - adopt suggestion from Andrew to start with struct ethtool_keee being an identical copy of ethtool_eee, and switch all users v3: - switch from RFC to net-next - add patch 4, and reuse old names in patch 5 - rebase patch 1 v4: - fix missing replacement in patch 4 ==================== 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.
