d440b72068 sit: fix sparse warnings
This change fixes several sparse warnings about endianness problem. The wrong
nla_*() functions were used.
It also fix a sparse warning about a flag test (field i_flags). This field is
used in this file like a local flag only, so it is more an u16 (gre uses it as a
be16). This sparse warning was already there before the patch that add netlink
management, the code has just been moved.

07bd34db29 ioat: Do not enable DCA if tag map is invalid
I have encountered several systems that have an invalid tag map.  This
invalid tag map results in only two tags being generated 0x1F which is
usually applied to the first core in a Hyper-threaded pair and 0x00 which
is applied to the second core in a Hyper-threaded pair.  The net result of
all this is that DCA causes significant cache thrash because the 0x1F tag
will send traffic to the second socket, which the 0x00 tag will not DCA tag
the frame resulting in no benefit.

For now the best solution from the driver's perspective is to just disable
DCA if the tag map is invalid.  The correct solution for this would be to
have the BIOS on affected systems updated so that the correct tags are
generated for a given APIC ID.

70384a6af0 ARM: OMAP3+: hwmod: Add AM33XX HWMOD data for davinci_mdio module
This patch adds hwmod entry for davinci MDIO module,
creating parent<->child relationship between CPSW and MDIO module.

This Parent-child relation is required in order to use common resources
like, clock, but still maintaining the logical separation between them.

CPGMAC SubSystem consist of various sub-modules, like, mdio, cpdma,
cpsw, etc... These sub-modules are also used in some of Davinci
family of devices, so separate and independent platform devices &
drivers for CPSW and MDIO is implemented.
In case of AM33XX, the resources are shared and common register
bit-field is provided to control module/clock enable/disable,
makes it difficult to handle common resources from both drivers.

So the solution is, create parent<->child relationship between
CPGMAC & MDIO modules.

549985ee9c cpsw: simplify the setup of the register pointers

1fb19aa730 net: cpsw: Add parent<->child relation support between cpsw and mdio
CPGMAC SubSystem consist of various sub-modules, like, mdio, cpdma,
cpsw, etc... These sub-modules are also used in some of Davinci family
of devices. Now based on requirement, use-case and available technology
nodes the integration of these sub-modules varies across devices.

So coming back to Linux net driver, currently separate and independent
platform devices & drivers for CPSW and MDIO is implemented. In case of
Davinci they both has separate control, from resources perspective,
like clock.

In case of AM33XX, the resources are shared and only one register
bit-field is provided to control module/clock enable/disable, makes it
difficult to handle common resource.

So the solution here implemented in this patch is,

Create parent<->child relationship between both the drivers, making
CPSW as a parent and MDIO as its child and enumerate all the child nodes
under CPSW module.
Both the drivers will function exactly the way it was operating before,
including runtime-pm functionality. No change is required in MDIO driver
(for that matter to any child driver).

As this is only supported during DT boot, the parent<->child relationship
is created and populated in DT execution flow. The only required change
is inside DTS file, making MDIO as a child to CPSW node.

d1df50f438 net: davinci_mdio: Fix typo mistake in calling runtime-pm api
By mistake (most likely a copy-paste), instead of pm_runtime_get_sync()
api, driver is calling pm_runtime_put_sync() api in resume callback
function. The bug was introduced by commit id (ae2c07aaf74:
davinci_mdio: runtime PM support).

Now, the reason why it didn't impact functionality is, the patch has
been tested on AM335x-EVM and BeagleBone platform while submitting;
and in case of AM335x the MDIO driver doesn't control the module
enable/disable part, which is handled by CPSW driver.

John W. Linville says:

====================
Included is a Bluetooth pull -- Gustavo says:

"These are the Bluetooth bits for inclusion in 3.8, there is basically one big
thing here which is the High Speed patches from Andrei, he did a lot of work on
A2MP and management of AMP devices. The rest are mostly clean up and bug
fixes."

Also included is an NFC pull -- Samuel says:

"With this one we have:

- pn544 p2p support.
- pn544 physical and HCI layers separation. We are getting the pn544 driver
  ready to support non i2c physical layers.
- LLCP SNL (Service Name Lookup). This is the NFC p2p service discovery
  protocol.
- LLCP datagram sockets (connection less) support.
- IDR library usage for NFC devices indexes assignement.
- NFC netlink extension for setting and getting LLCP link characteristics.
- Various code style fixes and cleanups spread over the pn533, LLCP, HCI and
  pn544 code."

There are a couple of mac80211 pulls as well -- Johannes says:

"Please pull my mac80211-next tree to get the first round of new features
for 3.8. We have:
 * finally, the mac80211 multi-channel work
 * scan improvements:
   - bg scan
   - scan flush
   - forced AP scan
 * cfg80211 tracing
 * a bit of new code to allow implementing SAE (secure authentication of
   equals) in managed mode

Along with a few random improvements, features and fixes."

and...

"Please pull from mac80211-next (per below pull request) to get a few
updates. Most important is probably the fix for the WDS regression that
my previous pull request introduced. Other than that, I have some
tracing code, two mesh updates and a change to allow drivers to
calculate the AES CMAC subkeys without having to implement the GF_mulx
operation themselves."

On top of that are the usual updates to iwlwifi, ath9k, rt2x00,
brcmfmac, mwifiex, and a few others here and there.  Of note is the
addition of the ar5523 driver, ported from an original FreeBSD driver.

If BPDU is received from a leaf (edge) port, it should not

Why would you want to do this?
If using STP on a bridge and the downstream bridges are not fully
trusted; this prevents a hostile guest for rerouting traffic.

Why not just use netfilter?
Netfilter does not track of follow spanning tree decisions.
It would be difficult and error prone to try and mirror STP

a2e01a65cd bridge: implement BPDU blocking
This is Linux bridge implementation of STP protection
(Cisco BPDU guard/Juniper BPDU block). BPDU block disables
the bridge port if a STP BPDU packet is received.

Why would you want to do this?
If running Spanning Tree on bridge, hostile devices on the network
may send BPDU and cause network failure. Enabling bpdu block
will detect and stop this.

How to recover the port?
The port will be restarted if link is brought down, or
removed and reattached.  For example:
 # ip li set dev eth0 down; ip li set dev eth0 up

cd7537326e bridge: add template for bridge port flags
Provide macro to build sysfs data structures and functions
for accessing flag bits.  If flag bits change do netlink
notification.

25c71c75ac bridge: bridge port parameters over netlink
Expose bridge port parameter over netlink. By switching to a nested
message, this can be used for other bridge parameters.

This changes IFLA_PROTINFO attribute from one byte to a full nested
set of attributes. This is safe for application interface because the
old message used IFLA_PROTINFO and new one uses
 IFLA_PROTINFO | NLA_F_NESTED.

The code adapts to old format requests, and therefore stays
compatible with user mode RSTP daemon. Since the type field
for nested and unnested attributes are different, and the old
code in libnetlink doesn't do the mask, it is also safe to use
with old versions of bridge monitor command.

Note: although mode is only a boolean, treating it as a
full byte since in the future someone will probably want to add more
values (like macvlan has).

3629a6cebc net/macb: clear unused address register
Only the first register set is used for matching but
we support getting the initial hw addr from any of
the registers.

To prevent stale entries and false matches clear unused
register sets. This most important for the at91_ether
driver where u-boot always uses the 2nd register set.
