Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

Add three string sets related to timestamping information:

  ETH_SS_SOF_TIMESTAMPING: SOF_TIMESTAMPING_* flags
  ETH_SS_TS_TX_TYPES:      timestamping Tx types
  ETH_SS_TS_RX_FILTERS:    timestamping Rx filters

These will be used for TIMESTAMP_GET request.

v2: avoid compiler warning ("enumeration value not handled in switch")
    in net_hwtstamp_validate()

v3: omit dash in Tx type names ("one-step-*" -&gt; "onestep-*"), suggested by
    Richard Cochran

The 1588 standard defines one step operation for both Sync and
PDelay_Resp messages.  Up until now, hardware with P2P one step has
been rare, and kernel support was lacking.  This patch adds support of
the mode in anticipation of new hardware developments.

A follow-up patch will add a notifier type NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR, which
allows vetoing of MAC address changes. One prominent path to that
notification is through dev_set_mac_address(). Therefore give this
function an extack argument, so that it can be packed together with the
notification. Thus a textual reason for rejection (or a warning) can be
communicated back to the user.

In order to pass extack together with NETDEV_PRE_UP notifications, it's
necessary to route the extack to __dev_open() from diverse (possibly
indirect) callers. One prominent API through which the notification is
invoked is dev_change_flags().

Therefore extend dev_change_flags() with and extra extack argument and
update all users. Most of the calls end up just encoding NULL, but
several sites (VLAN, ipvlan, VRF, rtnetlink) do have extack available.

Since the function declaration line is changed anyway, name the other
function arguments to placate checkpatch.

<title>net: remove redundant input checks in SIOCSIFTXQLEN case of dev_ifsioc</title>

<id>8dd30201ce66f2c81077e06056f4a865e512e854</id>
<content type='text'>
The cited patch added a call to dev_change_tx_queue_len in
SIOCSIFTXQLEN case.
This obsoletes the new len comparison check done before the function call.
Remove it here.

For the desicion of keep/remove the negative value check, we examine the
range check in dev_change_tx_queue_len.
On 64-bit we will fail with -ERANGE.  The 32-bit int ifr_qlen will be sign
extended to 64-bits when it is passed into dev_change_tx_queue_len(). And
then for negative values this test triggers:

	if (new_len != (unsigned int)new_len)
		return -ERANGE;

because:
	if (0xffffffffWHATEVER != 0x00000000WHATEVER)

On 32-bit the signed value will be accepted, changing behavior.

Therefore, the negative value check is kept.
