+* Microchip ENC28J60
+
+This is a standalone 10 MBit ethernet controller with SPI interface.
+
+For each device connected to a SPI bus, define a child node within
+the SPI master node.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be "microchip,enc28j60"
+- reg: Specify the SPI chip select the ENC28J60 is wired to
+- interrupt-parent: Specify the phandle of the source interrupt, see interrupt
+ binding documentation for details. Usually this is the GPIO bank
+ the interrupt line is wired to.
+- interrupts: Specify the interrupt index within the interrupt controller (referred
+ to above in interrupt-parent) and interrupt type. The ENC28J60 natively
+ generates falling edge interrupts, however, additional board logic
+ might invert the signal.
+- pinctrl-names: List of assigned state names, see pinctrl binding documentation.
+- pinctrl-0: List of phandles to configure the GPIO pin used as interrupt line,
+ see also generic and your platform specific pinctrl binding
+ documentation.
+
+Optional properties:
+- spi-max-frequency: Maximum frequency of the SPI bus when accessing the ENC28J60.
+ According to the ENC28J80 datasheet, the chip allows a maximum of 20 MHz, however,
+ board designs may need to limit this value.
+- local-mac-address: See ethernet.txt in the same directory.

+Marvell 8897/8997 (sd8897/sd8997) SDIO devices
+------
+
+This node provides properties for controlling the marvell sdio wireless device.
+The node is expected to be specified as a child node to the SDIO controller that
+connects the device to the system.
+
+Required properties:
+
+ - compatible : should be one of the following:
+ * "marvell,sd8897"
+ * "marvell,sd8997"
+
+Optional properties:
+
+ - marvell,caldata* : A series of properties with marvell,caldata prefix,
+ represent calibration data downloaded to the device during
+ initialization. This is an array of unsigned 8-bit values.
+ the properties should follow below property name and
+ corresponding array length:
+ "marvell,caldata-txpwrlimit-2g" (length = 566).
+ "marvell,caldata-txpwrlimit-5g-sub0" (length = 502).
+ "marvell,caldata-txpwrlimit-5g-sub1" (length = 688).
+ "marvell,caldata-txpwrlimit-5g-sub2" (length = 750).
+ "marvell,caldata-txpwrlimit-5g-sub3" (length = 502).
+ - marvell,wakeup-pin : a wakeup pin number of wifi chip which will be configured
+ to firmware. Firmware will wakeup the host using this pin
+ during suspend/resume.
+ - interrupt-parent: phandle of the parent interrupt controller
+ - interrupts : interrupt pin number to the cpu. driver will request an irq based on
+ this interrupt number. during system suspend, the irq will be enabled
+ so that the wifi chip can wakeup host platform under certain condition.
+ during system resume, the irq will be disabled to make sure
+ unnecessary interrupt is not received.
+
+Example:
+
+Tx power limit calibration data is configured in below example.
+The calibration data is an array of unsigned values, the length
+can vary between hw versions.

+Direct packet access
+--------------------
+In cls_bpf and act_bpf programs the verifier allows direct access to the packet
+data via skb->data and skb->data_end pointers.
+Ex:
+1: r4 = *(u32 *)(r1 +80) /* load skb->data_end */
+2: r3 = *(u32 *)(r1 +76) /* load skb->data */
+3: r5 = r3
+4: r5 += 14
+5: if r5 > r4 goto pc+16
+R1=ctx R3=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=14) R4=pkt_end R5=pkt(id=0,off=14,r=14) R10=fp
+6: r0 = *(u16 *)(r3 +12) /* access 12 and 13 bytes of the packet */
+
+this 2byte load from the packet is safe to do, since the program author
+did check 'if (skb->data + 14 > skb->data_end) goto err' at insn #5 which
+means that in the fall-through case the register R3 (which points to skb->data)
+has at least 14 directly accessible bytes. The verifier marks it
+as R3=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=14).
+id=0 means that no additional variables were added to the register.
+off=0 means that no additional constants were added.
+r=14 is the range of safe access which means that bytes [R3, R3 + 14) are ok.
+Note that R5 is marked as R5=pkt(id=0,off=14,r=14). It also points
+to the packet data, but constant 14 was added to the register, so
+it now points to 'skb->data + 14' and accessible range is [R5, R5 + 14 - 14)
+which is zero bytes.
+
+More complex packet access may look like:
+ R0=imm1 R1=ctx R3=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=14) R4=pkt_end R5=pkt(id=0,off=14,r=14) R10=fp
+ 6: r0 = *(u8 *)(r3 +7) /* load 7th byte from the packet */
+ 7: r4 = *(u8 *)(r3 +12)
+ 8: r4 *= 14
+ 9: r3 = *(u32 *)(r1 +76) /* load skb->data */
+10: r3 += r4
+11: r2 = r1
+12: r2 <<= 48
+13: r2 >>= 48
+14: r3 += r2
+15: r2 = r3
+16: r2 += 8
+17: r1 = *(u32 *)(r1 +80) /* load skb->data_end */
+18: if r2 > r1 goto pc+2
+ R0=inv56 R1=pkt_end R2=pkt(id=2,off=8,r=8) R3=pkt(id=2,off=0,r=8) R4=inv52 R5=pkt(id=0,off=14,r=14) R10=fp
+19: r1 = *(u8 *)(r3 +4)
+The state of the register R3 is R3=pkt(id=2,off=0,r=8)
+id=2 means that two 'r3 += rX' instructions were seen, so r3 points to some
+offset within a packet and since the program author did
+'if (r3 + 8 > r1) goto err' at insn #18, the safe range is [R3, R3 + 8).
+The verifier only allows 'add' operation on packet registers. Any other
+operation will set the register state to 'unknown_value' and it won't be
+available for direct packet access.
+Operation 'r3 += rX' may overflow and become less than original skb->data,
+therefore the verifier has to prevent that. So it tracks the number of
+upper zero bits in all 'uknown_value' registers, so when it sees
+'r3 += rX' instruction and rX is more than 16-bit value, it will error as:
+"cannot add integer value with N upper zero bits to ptr_to_packet"
+Ex. after insn 'r4 = *(u8 *)(r3 +12)' (insn #7 above) the state of r4 is
+R4=inv56 which means that upper 56 bits on the register are guaranteed
+to be zero. After insn 'r4 *= 14' the state becomes R4=inv52, since
+multiplying 8-bit value by constant 14 will keep upper 52 bits as zero.
+Similarly 'r2 >>= 48' will make R2=inv48, since the shift is not sign
+extending. This logic is implemented in evaluate_reg_alu() function.
+
+The end result is that bpf program author can access packet directly
+using normal C code as:
+ void *data = (void *)(long)skb->data;
+ void *data_end = (void *)(long)skb->data_end;
+ struct eth_hdr *eth = data;
+ struct iphdr *iph = data + sizeof(*eth);
+ struct udphdr *udp = data + sizeof(*eth) + sizeof(*iph);
+
+ if (data + sizeof(*eth) + sizeof(*iph) + sizeof(*udp) > data_end)
+ return 0;
+ if (eth->h_proto != htons(ETH_P_IP))
+ return 0;
+ if (iph->protocol != IPPROTO_UDP || iph->ihl != 5)
+ return 0;
+ if (udp->dest == 53 || udp->source == 9)
+ ...;
+which makes such programs easier to write comparing to LD_ABS insn
+and significantly faster.

+Segmentation Offloads in the Linux Networking Stack
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This document describes a set of techniques in the Linux networking stack
+to take advantage of segmentation offload capabilities of various NICs.
+
+The following technologies are described:
+ * TCP Segmentation Offload - TSO
+ * UDP Fragmentation Offload - UFO
+ * IPIP, SIT, GRE, and UDP Tunnel Offloads
+ * Generic Segmentation Offload - GSO
+ * Generic Receive Offload - GRO
+ * Partial Generic Segmentation Offload - GSO_PARTIAL
+
+TCP Segmentation Offload
+========================
+
+TCP segmentation allows a device to segment a single frame into multiple
+frames with a data payload size specified in skb_shinfo()->gso_size.
+When TCP segmentation requested the bit for either SKB_GSO_TCP or
+SKB_GSO_TCP6 should be set in skb_shinfo()->gso_type and
+skb_shinfo()->gso_size should be set to a non-zero value.
+
+TCP segmentation is dependent on support for the use of partial checksum
+offload. For this reason TSO is normally disabled if the Tx checksum
+offload for a given device is disabled.
+
+In order to support TCP segmentation offload it is necessary to populate
+the network and transport header offsets of the skbuff so that the device
+drivers will be able determine the offsets of the IP or IPv6 header and the
+TCP header. In addition as CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is required csum_start should
+also point to the TCP header of the packet.
+
+For IPv4 segmentation we support one of two types in terms of the IP ID.
+The default behavior is to increment the IP ID with every segment. If the
+GSO type SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID is specified then we will not increment the IP
+ID and all segments will use the same IP ID. If a device has
+NETIF_F_TSO_MANGLEID set then the IP ID can be ignored when performing TSO
+and we will either increment the IP ID for all frames, or leave it at a
+static value based on driver preference.
+
+UDP Fragmentation Offload
+=========================
+
+UDP fragmentation offload allows a device to fragment an oversized UDP
+datagram into multiple IPv4 fragments. Many of the requirements for UDP
+fragmentation offload are the same as TSO. However the IPv4 ID for
+fragments should not increment as a single IPv4 datagram is fragmented.
+
+IPIP, SIT, GRE, UDP Tunnel, and Remote Checksum Offloads
+========================================================
+
+In addition to the offloads described above it is possible for a frame to
+contain additional headers such as an outer tunnel. In order to account
+for such instances an additional set of segmentation offload types were
+introduced including SKB_GSO_IPIP, SKB_GSO_SIT, SKB_GSO_GRE, and
+SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL. These extra segmentation types are used to identify
+cases where there are more than just 1 set of headers. For example in the
+case of IPIP and SIT we should have the network and transport headers moved
+from the standard list of headers to "inner" header offsets.
+
+Currently only two levels of headers are supported. The convention is to
+refer to the tunnel headers as the outer headers, while the encapsulated
+data is normally referred to as the inner headers. Below is the list of
+calls to access the given headers:
+
+IPIP/SIT Tunnel:
+ Outer Inner
+MAC skb_mac_header
+Network skb_network_header skb_inner_network_header
+Transport skb_transport_header
+
+UDP/GRE Tunnel:
+ Outer Inner
+MAC skb_mac_header skb_inner_mac_header
+Network skb_network_header skb_inner_network_header
+Transport skb_transport_header skb_inner_transport_header
+
+In addition to the above tunnel types there are also SKB_GSO_GRE_CSUM and
+SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL_CSUM. These two additional tunnel types reflect the
+fact that the outer header also requests to have a non-zero checksum
+included in the outer header.
+
+Finally there is SKB_GSO_REMCSUM which indicates that a given tunnel header
+has requested a remote checksum offload. In this case the inner headers
+will be left with a partial checksum and only the outer header checksum
+will be computed.
+
+Generic Segmentation Offload
+============================
+
+Generic segmentation offload is a pure software offload that is meant to
+deal with cases where device drivers cannot perform the offloads described
+above. What occurs in GSO is that a given skbuff will have its data broken
+out over multiple skbuffs that have been resized to match the MSS provided
+via skb_shinfo()->gso_size.
+
+Before enabling any hardware segmentation offload a corresponding software
+offload is required in GSO. Otherwise it becomes possible for a frame to
+be re-routed between devices and end up being unable to be transmitted.
+
+Generic Receive Offload
+=======================
+
+Generic receive offload is the complement to GSO. Ideally any frame
+assembled by GRO should be segmented to create an identical sequence of
+frames using GSO, and any sequence of frames segmented by GSO should be
+able to be reassembled back to the original by GRO. The only exception to
+this is IPv4 ID in the case that the DF bit is set for a given IP header.
+If the value of the IPv4 ID is not sequentially incrementing it will be
+altered so that it is when a frame assembled via GRO is segmented via GSO.
+
+Partial Generic Segmentation Offload
+====================================
+
+Partial generic segmentation offload is a hybrid between TSO and GSO. What
+it effectively does is take advantage of certain traits of TCP and tunnels
+so that instead of having to rewrite the packet headers for each segment
+only the inner-most transport header and possibly the outer-most network
+header need to be updated. This allows devices that do not support tunnel
+offloads or tunnel offloads with checksum to still make use of segmentation.
+
+With the partial offload what occurs is that all headers excluding the
+inner transport header are updated such that they will contain the correct
+values for if the header was simply duplicated. The one exception to this
+is the outer IPv4 ID field. It is up to the device drivers to guarantee
+that the IPv4 ID field is incremented in the case that a given header does
+not have the DF bit set.

+4.12) TSO support (GMAC4.x)
+
+TSO (Tcp Segmentation Offload) feature is supported by GMAC 4.x chip family.
+When a packet is sent through TCP protocol, the TCP stack ensures that
+the SKB provided to the low level driver (stmmac in our case) matches with
+the maximum frame len (IP header + TCP header + payload <= 1500 bytes (for
+MTU set to 1500)). It means that if an application using TCP want to send a
+packet which will have a length (after adding headers) > 1514 the packet
+will be split in several TCP packets: The data payload is split and headers
+(TCP/IP ..) are added. It is done by software.
+
+When TSO is enabled, the TCP stack doesn't care about the maximum frame
+length and provide SKB packet to stmmac as it is. The GMAC IP will have to
+perform the segmentation by it self to match with maximum frame length.
+
+This feature can be enabled in device tree through "snps,tso" entry.
