With this patch a node may additionally perform the dropping or
unicasting behaviour for a link-local IPv4 and link-local-all-nodes
IPv6 multicast packet, too.The extra counter and BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_UNSNOOPABLES flag is needed
because with a future bridge snooping support integration a node with a
bridge on top of its soft interface is not able to reliably detect its
multicast listeners for IPv4 link-local and the IPv6
link-local-all-nodes addresses anymore (see RFC4541, section 2.1.2.2
and section 3).Even though this new flag does make "no difference" now, it'll ensure
a seamless integration of multicast bridge support without needing to
break compatibility later.Also note, that even with multicast bridge support it won't be possible
to optimize 224.0.0.x and ff02::1 towards nodes with bridges, they will
always receive these ranges.Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing

With this patch a multicast packet is not always simply flooded anymore,
the behaviour for the following cases is changed to reduce
unnecessary overhead:If all nodes within the horizon of a certain node have signalized
multicast listener announcement capability then an IPv6 multicast packet
with a destination of IPv6 link-local scope (excluding ff02::1) coming
from the upstream of this node...* ...is dropped if there is no according multicast listener in the
translation table,
* ...is forwarded via unicast if there is a single node with interested
multicast listeners
* ...and otherwise still gets flooded.Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing

If the soft interface of a node is not part of a bridge then a node
announces a new multicast TVLV: The existence of this TVLV
signalizes that this node is announcing all of its multicast listeners
via the translation table infrastructure.Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing

Our .ndo_start_xmit handler (batadv_interface_tx()) can rely on having
the skb mac header pointer set correctly since the following commit
present in kernels >= 3.9:"net: reset mac header in dev_start_xmit()" (6d1ccff627)
Therefore this commit removes the according, now redundant,
skb_reset_mac_header() call in batadv_bla_tx().Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing

the skb mac header pointer set correctly since the following commit
present in kernels >= 3.9:"net: reset mac header in dev_start_xmit()" (6d1ccff627)
Therefore we can safely use eth_hdr() and vlan_eth_hdr() instead of
skb->data now, which spares us some ugly type casts.At the same time set the mac_header in batadv_dat_snoop_incoming_arp_request()
before sending the skb along the TX path.Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing

====================
ptp: dynamic pin controlThis patch series introduces a way of changing the auxiliary PTP
Hardware Clock functions (periodic output signals and time stamping
external signals) at run time. In the past on the netdev list, we have
discussed other ways to handle this, such as module parameters and
ethtool. This series implements a new PHC ioctl because that is the
most natural way. Users already activate the auxiliary functions via
the ioctls. The sysfs interface has also been expanded so that the pin
configuration can be programmed using shell scripts.The first patch adds the new ioctls. The PHC subsystem does most of
the work of maintaining the function-to-pin mapping. Drivers will only
need to allocate and initialize a pin configuration table and also
provide a new method that validates a particular assignment.Patches 5 and 6 just clean up a couple of issues in the phyter driver,
and the remaining patches actually hook the phyter's pins into the new
system.* ChangeLog
** V3
- simplify locking in the set pin logic
** V2
- fix bug in sysfs code on init error path
- rename ptp_setpin() to ptp_set_pinfunc()
- rename .setpin() to .verify() in the driver interface
- simplify ptp_find_pin() logic
- use correct test when checking whether the pin with the
calibration function is being reprogrammed

The phyter driver incorrectly feeds the value of the period into what
is in fact a pulse width register, resulting in the actual period

sh_eth: Fix the race between open and MDIO bus registrationThis patch series fixes the race condition that exists in the sh_eth driver
between network device open and MDIO bus registration. The actual fix is in
patch 4/5, with previous patches preparing the driver and patch 5/5 cleaning
up an unrelated issue.I've based the idea on Sergei's attempt to fix the problem and can successfully
boot the Koelsch board over NFS with this series. I might have missed other
issues though, hence the RFC status.The patches are based on top of the latest net-next master branch.

The MDIO bus parent is set to the network device. Beside not reflecting
the hardware topology, this prevents registering the MDIO bus before

Memory allocated for the MDIO bus with the devm_kzalloc() API is
associated with the network device. While this will cause memory to be
freed at the right time, it doesn't allow allocating memory before the
network device is initialized.Replace the network device with the parent platform device for memory
allocation to remove that dependency. This also improves consistency
with the other devm_* calls in the driver that all use the platform
device.Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart

This makes the generic of_mdiobus_register parse the DT compatible string for
the pattern ethernet-phy-idAAAA.BBBB. If present it should be a value that
matches the phy-id register normally readable through MDIO.When the ID is given the phy autoprobing is defeated and the phy is
created directly.This is necessary to support phy's that cannot be autoprobed when
of_mdiobus_register is called. Specifically, my case has the phy in reset at
of_mdiobus_register, the reset is only released once the ethernet driver
starts, before it attaches to the phy.Tested on ARM Kirkwood with phy id 0x01410e90 (Marvell 88E1318)
