This series introduces support for USB network devices that report
speed as a part of their protocol, not emulating an MII to be accessed
over MDIO.

v2: rebased on recent upstream changes
v3: incorporated hints on naming and comments

You should probably wait for two weeks. We are far enough into the
merge window that i doubt it will get picked up. So please wait,
rebase, and then post.

netdev actually prefers them above, so we see the history of how a
patched changed during review.

Ok. Thanks for clarifying. :)

Since this patch is missing the hunks that landed in the previous
patch and needs a v4, I'll offer my version of the commit message in
case you like it better:
    net: cdc_ncm: record speed in status method

    Until very recently, the usbnet framework only had support functions
    for devices which reported the link speed by explicitly querying the
    PHY over a MDIO interface. However, the cdc_ncm devices send
    notifications when the link state or link speeds change and do not
    expose the PHY (or modem) directly.

    Support functions (e.g. usbnet_get_link_ksettings_internal()) to directly
    query state recorded by the cdc_ncm driver were added in a previous patch.

    So instead of cdc_ncm spewing the link speed into the dmesg buffer,
    record the link speed encoded in these notifications and tell the
    usbnet framework to use the new functions to get link speed.

    This is especially useful given all existing RTL8156 devices emit
    a connection/speed status notification every 32ms and this would
    fill the dmesg buffer. This implementation replaces the one
    recently submitted in de658a195ee23ca6aaffe197d1d2ea040beea0a2 :
       "net: usb: cdc_ncm: don't spew notifications"

Oliver,
Can you include a 4th patch in the series to bring cdc_ether driver in
line with the cdc_ncm behavior?

I apologize for not including the patch inline - but it's late and I
don't want to fight with gmail at this point. Patch is attached. Not
tested.

cheers,
grant

No worries - it happens. To make this easier for you, let me point out
what I've observed.

I just noticed there are two hunks that landed in the wrong (posted) patches.

1) In "[PATCHv3 2/3] usbnet: add method for reporting speed without
MDIO", this hunk is "repairing" the part that failed to build for
Jakub:

        else
                cmd->base.speed = SPEED_UNKNOWN;

Just this hunk should have been folded into the previous patch:
"[PATCHv3 1/3] usbnet: specify naming of
usbnet_set/get_link_ksettings"

2) "[PATCHv3 1/3]" has the hunk to override .get_link_ksettings and
.set_link_ksettings fields for cdc_ncm.c:

 };

This hunk should have been included in "[PATCHv3 3/3] CDC-NCM: record
speed in status method" (email thread I'm replying to).

Also, I believe this hunk is incorrect: .set_link_ksettings should be
set to NULL since speed can't be changed by cdc_ncm driver (AFAIK).


Swap around where those hunks landed and you'll be golden. :)

"knowledge in the field" sounds quite generous. I'll claim I
understand this particular problem reasonably well. :)

> I will take it, wait two weeks and then resubmit.


Excellent!

Just to be clear, I'm understanding you will resubmit next week. SGTM.

Also, please add the cdc_ether patch (attached) to the series (since
it depends on the work you are doing). Andrew Lunn
also expected cdc_ether to be updated in the same series (in reply to
"[PATCHv2 0/3] usbnet: speed reporting...").
