net: cdc_ncm: record speed in status method
Until very recently, the usbnet framework only had support functions for devices which reported the link speed by explicitly querying the PHY over a MDIO interface. However, the cdc_ncm devices send notifications when the link state or link speeds change and do not expose the PHY (or modem) directly. Support funtions (e.g. usbnet_get_link_ksettings_internal()) to directly query state recorded by the cdc_ncm driver were added in a previous patch. So instead of cdc_ncm spewing the link speed into the dmesg buffer, record the link speed encoded in these notifications and tell the usbnet framework to use the new functions to get link speed/state. Link speed/state is now available via ethtool. This is especially useful given all current RTL8156 devices emit a connection/speed status notification every 32ms and this would fill the dmesg buffer. This implementation replaces the one recently submitted in de658a19 : "net: usb: cdc_ncm: don't spew notifications" v2: rebased on upstream v3: changed variable names v4: rewrote commit message Signed-off-by: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.com> Tested-by: Roland Dreier <roland@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Grant Grundler <grundler@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.
