lib: packing: Include necessary headers

2025-08-20T16:30:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8bd0af3154b2206ce19f8b1410339f7a2a56d0c3 ] packing.h uses ARRAY_SIZE(), BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(), min(), max(), and sizeof_field() without including the headers where they are defined, potentially causing build failures. Fix this in packing.h and sort the result.

net: update NXP copyright text

2021-09-17T12:52:17+00:00

NXP Legal insists that the following are not fine: - Saying "NXP Semiconductors" instead of "NXP", since the company's registered name is "NXP" - Putting a "(c)" sign in the copyright string - Putting a comma in the copyright string The only accepted copyright string format is "Copyright NXP". This patch changes the copyright headers in the networking files that were sent by me, or derived from code sent by me. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

lib: Add support for generic packing operations

2019-05-03T14:49:17+00:00

This provides an unified API for accessing register bit fields regardless of memory layout. The basic unit of data for these API functions is the u64. The process of transforming an u64 from native CPU encoding into the peripheral's encoding is called 'pack', and transforming it from peripheral to native CPU encoding is 'unpack'.
