<id>urn:sha1:b79e498080b170fd94fc83bca2471f450811549b</id>
<content type='text'>
The current code incorrectly passes (XIRCREG1_ECR | FullDuplex) as
the register address to GetByte(), instead of fetching the register
value and OR-ing it with FullDuplex. This results in an invalid
register access.

Fix it by reading XIRCREG1_ECR first, then or-ing with FullDuplex
before writing it back.

Various ndo_set_config() methods can change dev-&gt;if_port

dev-&gt;if_port is going to be read locklessly from
rtnl_fill_link_ifmap().

Add corresponding WRITE_ONCE() on writer sides.

<title>net: handle HAS_IOPORT dependencies</title>

<content type='text'>
In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will disable inb()/outb() and friends at
compile time. We thus need to add HAS_IOPORT as dependency for
those drivers requiring them. For the DEFXX driver the use of I/O
ports is optional and we only need to fence specific code paths. It also
turns out that with HAS_IOPORT handled explicitly HAMRADIO does not need
the !S390 dependency and successfully builds the bpqether driver.

The variable okay is being initialized with a value that is never
read, it is being re-assigned later on. The initialization is
redundant and can be removed.  Also clean up assignment to
variable freespace using an assignment and mask operation.

Cleans up clang scan build warning:

In xirc2ps_probe, the local-&gt;tx_timeout_task was bounded
with xirc2ps_tx_timeout_task. When timeout occurs,
it will call xirc_tx_timeout-&gt;schedule_work to start the
work.

When we call xirc2ps_detach to remove the driver, there
may be a sequence as follows:

Stop responding to timeout tasks and complete scheduled
tasks before cleanup in xirc2ps_detach, which will fix
the problem.

CPU0                  CPU1

                    |xirc2ps_tx_timeout_task
xirc2ps_detach      |

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this
subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used.

<id>urn:sha1:766607570becbd26cab6d66a544dd8d0d964df5a</id>
<content type='text'>
This big patch sprinkles const on local variables and
function arguments which may refer to netdev-&gt;dev_addr.

Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev-&gt;dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.

Some of the changes here are not strictly required - const
is sometimes cast off but pointer is not used for writing.
It seems like it's still better to add the const in case
the code changes later or relevant -W flags get enabled
for the build.

No functional changes.

<title>dev_ioctl: split out ndo_eth_ioctl</title>

<content type='text'>
Most users of ndo_do_ioctl are ethernet drivers that implement
the MII commands SIOCGMIIPHY/SIOCGMIIREG/SIOCSMIIREG, or hardware
timestamping with SIOCSHWTSTAMP/SIOCGHWTSTAMP.

Separate these from the few drivers that use ndo_do_ioctl to
implement SIOCBOND, SIOCBR and SIOCWANDEV commands.

This is a purely cosmetic change intended to help readers find
their way through the implementation.
