<content type='text'>
The newly introduced mii_ethtool_get_link_ksettings function sets
lp_advertising to an uninitialized value when BMCR_ANENABLE is not
set:

drivers/net/mii.c: In function 'mii_ethtool_get_link_ksettings':
drivers/net/mii.c:224:2: error: 'lp_advertising' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

As documented in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h, the value is
expected to be zero when we don't know it, so let's initialize
it to that.

The old ethtool api (get_setting and set_setting) has generic mii
functions mii_ethtool_sset and mii_ethtool_gset.

To support the new ethtool api ({get|set}_link_ksettings), we add
two generics mii function mii_ethtool_{get|set}_link_ksettings_get.

<title>mii: Handle link state changes for forced modes in mii_check_media()</title>

mii_check_media() does not update the link (carrier) state or log link
changes when the link mode is forced.  Drivers using the mii library
must do this themselves, but most of them do not.

Instead of changing them all, provide a sensible default behaviour
similar to mii_check_link() when the mode is forced.

via-rhine depends on it being a no-op in this case, so make its call
to mii_check_media() conditional.

Add comments for ethtool_cmd::phy_address and
ethtool_cmd::mdio_support, and definitions of the flags currently
used in mdio_support.

In the mdio library, assert that its own flags continue to match those
in the ethtool interface.

In the mii library, use the ethtool flag definition and stop
including &lt;linux/mdio.h&gt;.

This patch implements advice by Ben Hutchings to change the mii side of
the function names to look more like the register whose values they
convert.  New LPA translation functions have been added as well.

Translating between ethtool advertisement settings and MII
advertisements are common operations for ethernet drivers.  This patch
adds a set of helper functions that implements the conversion.  The
patch then modifies a couple of the drivers to use the new functions.

<title>ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed API</title>

This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the
ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed()
instead.

For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't
fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly
call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes
are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with
future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each
ethtool operation.

All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been
updated.

<title>ethtool: Call ethtool's get/set_settings callbacks with cleaned data</title>

This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's
get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it
is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if
the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't
get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of
setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET).

This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it
sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to
drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings()
does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function
also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline.

All drivers visible to make allyesconfig under x86_64 have been
updated.
