      net: usb: ax88179_178a: allow optionally getting mac address from device tree · 9fb137ae
      Peter Fink authored
      Adopt and integrate the feature to pass the MAC address via device tree
      from asix_device.c (03fc5d4f) also to other ax88179 based asix chips.
      E.g. the bootloader fills in local-mac-address and the driver will then
      pick up and use this MAC address.

      Just put related code together to ease code reading: the memcpy() is
      related to the nla_reserve().

      Merge branch 'netdev-altnames' · 7a56493f

      ====================
      net: introduce alternative names for network interfaces
      
      In the past, there was repeatedly discussed the IFNAMSIZ (16) limit for
      netdevice name length. Now when we have PF and VF representors
      with port names like "pfXvfY", it became quite common to hit this limit:
      0123456789012345
      enp131s0f1npf0vf6
      enp131s0f1npf0vf22
      
      Udev cannot rename these interfaces out-of-the-box and user needs to
      create custom rules to handle them.
      
      Also, udev has multiple schemes of netdev names. From udev code:
       * Type of names:
       *   b<number>                             - BCMA bus core number
       *   c<bus_id>                             - bus id of a grouped CCW or CCW device,
       *                                           with all leading zeros stripped [s390]
       *   o<index>[n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
       *                                         - on-board device index number
       *   s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
       *                                         - hotplug slot index number
       *   x<MAC>                                - MAC address
       *   [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
       *                                         - PCI geographical location
       *   [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][u<port>][..][c<config>][i<interface>]
       *                                         - USB port number chain
       *   v<slot>                               - VIO slot number (IBM PowerVM)
       *   a<vendor><model>i<instance>           - Platform bus ACPI instance id
       *   i<addr>n<phys_port_name>              - Netdevsim bus address and port name
      
      One device can be often renamed by multiple patterns at the
      same time (e.g. pci address/mac).
      
      This patchset introduces alternative names for network interfaces.
      Main goal is to:
      1) Overcome the IFNAMSIZ limitation (altname limitation is 128 bytes)
      2) Allow to have multiple names at the same time (multiple udev patterns)
      3) Allow to use alternative names as handle for commands
      
      The patchset introduces two new commands to add/delete list of properties.
      Currently only alternative names are implemented but the ifrastructure
      could be easily extended later on. This is very similar to the list of vlan
      and tunnels being added/deleted to/from bridge ports.
      
      See following examples.
