eth: remove neterion/vxge

2022-07-05T22:26:31Z

The last meaningful change to this driver was made by Jon in 2011. As much as we'd like to believe that this is because the code is perfect the chances are nobody is using this hardware. Because of the size of this driver there is a nontrivial maintenance cost to keeping this code around, in the last 2 years we're averaging more than 1 change a month. Some of which require nontrivial review effort, see commit 877fe9d49b74 ("Revert "drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge: Fix a use-after-free bug in vxge-main.c"") for example. Let's try to remove this driver. In general, IMHO, we need to establish a clear path for shedding dead code. It will be hard to unless we have some experience trying to delete stuff.

eth: de4x5: remove support for Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA

2022-05-23T10:43:51Z

Looks like almost all changes to this driver had been tree-wide refactoring since git era begun. There is one commit from Al 15 years ago which could potentially be fixing a real bug. The driver is using virt_to_bus() and is a real magnet for pointless cleanups. It seems unlikely to have real users. Let's try to shed this maintenance burden.

net: ena: Update LLQ header length in ena documentation

2022-01-08T03:25:50Z

LLQ entry length is 128 bytes. Therefore the maximum header in the entry is calculated by: tx_max_header_size = LLQ_ENTRY_SIZE - DESCRIPTORS_NUM_BEFORE_HEADER * 16 = 128 - 2 * 16 = 96 This patch updates the documentation so that it states the correct max header length.

ixgbe: Document how to enable NBASE-T support

2021-12-15T19:09:29Z

Commit a296d665eae1 ("ixgbe: Add ethtool support to enable 2.5 and 5.0 Gbps support") introduced suppression of the advertisement of NBASE-T speeds by default, according to Todd Fujinaka to accommodate customers with network switches which could not cope with advertised NBASE-T speeds, as posted in the E1000-devel mailing list: https://sourceforge.net/p/e1000/mailman/message/37106269/ However, the suppression was not documented at all, nor was how to enable NBASE-T support. Properly document the NBASE-T suppression and how to enable NBASE-T support.
