+
+ The "NDP to end" quirk makes the driver place the NDP
+ (the packet index table) after the payload. The NCM
+ specification does not mandate this, but some devices
+ are known to be more restrictive. Write 'Y' to this
+ attribute for temporary testing of a suspect device
+ failing to work with the default driver settings.
+
+ A device entry should be added to the driver if this
+ quirk is found to be required.

+Description:
+ Boolean. Default: 'N'
+
+ Set this to 'Y' to change the network device link
+ framing from '802.3' to 'raw-ip'.
+
+ The netdev will change to reflect the link framing
+ mode. The netdev is an ordinary ethernet device in
+ '802.3' mode, and the driver expects to exchange
+ frames with an ethernet header over the USB link. The
+ netdev is a headerless p-t-p device in 'raw-ip' mode,
+ and the driver expects to echange IPv4 or IPv6 packets
+ without any L2 header over the USB link.
+
+ Userspace is in full control of firmware configuration
+ through the delegation of the QMI protocol. Userspace
+ is responsible for coordination of driver and firmware
+ link framing mode, changing this setting to 'Y' if the
+ firmware is configured for 'raw-ip' mode.

-Known issues & workaround
--------------------------
-
-Some of the device drivers used on keystone are re-used from that from
-DaVinci and other TI SoCs. These device drivers may use clock APIs directly.
-Some of the keystone specific drivers such as netcp uses run time power
-management API instead to enable clock. As this API has limitations on
-keystone, following workaround is needed to boot Linux.
-
- Add 'clk_ignore_unused' to the bootargs env variable in u-boot. Otherwise
- clock frameworks will try to disable clocks that are unused and disable
- the hardware. This is because netcp related power domain and clock
- domains are enabled in u-boot as run time power management API currently
- doesn't enable clocks for netcp due to a limitation. This workaround is
- expected to be removed in the future when proper API support becomes
- available. Until then, this work around is needed.
