2014-02-13ethtool: Expand documentation of struct ethtool_drvinfoBen Hutchings1-17/+39
Replace the inline comments (and some others below) with a full explanation of the semantics, in kernel-doc format. Specify which strings may be empty. Document the relationship with other commands. Replace the 'deprecation' of some fields with a proper explanation of the conversion to generalised string sets, as userland programs may not be able to assume that ETHTOOL_GSSET_INFO is available.

2014-02-13ethtool: Expand documentation of struct ethtool_cmdBen Hutchings1-34/+90
struct ethtool_cmd has very limited documentation; it contains several obscure or obsolete fields and several with non-obvious interpretation. Replace the inline comments (and some others below) with a full explanation of the semantics as well as I understand them, in kernel-doc format. Formally deprecate some fields that seem to be of historical use only. Extend the comment about 32/64-bit compatibility to cover all ethtool structures.

2013-05-28net: ethtool: disambiguate XCVR_* meaningFlorian Fainelli1-2/+2
Add a comment which explains the real meaning of XCVR_INTERNAL (PHY and Ethernet MAC in the same package/die) and XCVR_EXTERNAL (PHY and Ethernet MAC in a different package/die). Most if not all of the drivers setting their transceiver type already do it the way the comment describes it.

2012-12-12net: ethtool: Add destination MAC address to flow steering APIYan Burman1-4/+7
Add ability to specify destination MAC address for L3/L4 flow spec in order to be able to specify action for different VM's under vSwitch configuration. This change is transparent to older userspace.
