Revert "of: net: support NVMEM cells with MAC in text format"

2022-01-12T14:14:36+00:00

This reverts commit 9ed319e411915e882bb4ed99be3ae78667a70022. We can already post process a nvmem cell value in a particular driver. Instead of having yet another place to convert the values, the post processing hook of the nvmem provider should be used in this case. Signed-off-by: Michael Walle Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

of: net: support NVMEM cells with MAC in text format

2021-12-29T11:32:58+00:00

Some NVMEM devices have text based cells. In such cases MAC is stored in a XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX format. Use mac_pton() to parse such data and support those NVMEM cells. This is required to support e.g. a very popular U-Boot and its environment variables. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

of: net: add a helper for loading netdev->dev_addr

2021-10-07T12:39:51+00:00

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->dev_addr in this tree we need to make all the writes to it got through appropriate helpers. There are roughly 40 places where netdev->dev_addr is passed as the destination to a of_get_mac_address() call. Add a helper which takes a dev pointer instead, so it can call an appropriate helper. Note that of_get_mac_address() already assumes the address is 6 bytes long (ETH_ALEN) so use eth_hw_addr_set(). Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Rob suggests to move of_net.c from under drivers/of/ somewhere to the networking code. Suggested-by: Rob Herring Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: Rob Herring Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
