net: update NXP copyright text

2021-09-28T15:50:56+00:00

NXP Legal insists that the following are not fine:

- Saying "NXP Semiconductors" instead of "NXP", since the company's
  registered name is "NXP"

- Putting a "(c)" sign in the copyright string

- Putting a comma in the copyright string

The only accepted copyright string format is "Copyright  NXP".

This patch changes the copyright headers in the networking files that
were sent by me, or derived from code sent by me.

net: dsa: introduce a .port_probe() method in struct dsa_ops

2021-09-28T15:50:56+00:00

Some drivers might want to execute code for each port at probe time, as
opposed to executing code just-in-time for the port selected for
networking.

To cater to that use case, introduce a .port_probe() callback method
into the DSA switch operations which is called for each available port,
at the end of dsa_port_probe().

ls1012a: net: pfe: remove pfe stop from bootcmd

2021-06-16T12:44:08+00:00

When using bootefi to boot a EFI binary, u-boot is supposed to
provide networking service for EFI application. Currently, 'pfe stop'
command is called from bootcmd before running bootefi. As a result
network stops working for EFI applications and console is flooded with
"Rx pkt not on expected port" messages.

Implement board_quiesce_devices() for ls1012a boards and call
pfe_command_stop() from it instead of calling 'pfe stop' from
*_bootcmd and bootcmd.

net: Introduce DSA class for Ethernet switches

2021-02-16T16:48:20+00:00

DSA stands for Distributed Switch Architecture and it covers switches that
are connected to the CPU through an Ethernet link and generally use frame
tags to pass information about the source/destination ports to/from CPU.
Front panel ports are presented as regular ethernet devices in U-Boot and
they are expected to support the typical networking commands.
DSA switches may be cascaded, DSA class code does not currently support
this.

net: add a generic udp protocol

2020-09-30T20:55:03+00:00

This commit adds a generic udp protocol framework in the
network loop. So protocol based on udp may be implemented
without modifying the network loop (for example custom
wait magic packet).

treewide: convert bd_t to struct bd_info by coccinelle

2020-07-17T13:30:13+00:00

The Linux coding style guide (Documentation/process/coding-style.rst)
clearly says:

  It's a **mistake** to use typedef for structures and pointers.

Besides, using typedef for structures is annoying when you try to make
headers self-contained.

Let's say you have the following function declaration in a header:

  void foo(bd_t *bd);

This is not self-contained since bd_t is not defined.

To tell the compiler what 'bd_t' is, you need to include 

  #include 
  void foo(bd_t *bd);

Then, the include direcective pulls in more bloat needlessly.

If you use 'struct bd_info' instead, it is enough to put a forward
declaration as follows:

  struct bd_info;
  void foo(struct bd_info *bd);

Right, typedef'ing bd_t is a mistake.

I used coccinelle to generate this commit.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

  
  @@
  typedef bd_t;
  @@
  -bd_t
  +struct bd_info

phy: Add support for the NC-SI protocol

2020-03-09T23:11:23+00:00

This introduces support for the NC-SI protocol, modelled as a phy driver
for other ethernet drivers to consume.

NC-SI (Network Controller Sideband Interface) is a protocol to manage a
sideband connection to a proper network interface, for example a BMC
(Baseboard Management Controller) sharing the NIC of the host system.
Probing and configuration occurs by communicating with the "remote" NIC
via NC-SI control frames (Ethernet header 0x88f8).

This implementation is roughly based on the upstream Linux
implementation[0], with a reduced feature set and an emphasis on getting
a link up as fast as possible rather than probing the full possible
topology of the bus.
The current phy model relies on the network being "up", sending NC-SI
command frames via net_send_packet() and receiving them from the
net_loop() loop (added in a following patch).

The ncsi-pkt.h header[1] is copied from the Linux kernel for consistent
field definitions.

Add support for capturing ethernet packets and storing
them in memory in PCAP(2.4) format, later to be analyzed by
any PCAP viewer software (IE. Wireshark)

This feature greatly assist debugging network issues such
as detecting dropped packets, packet corruption etc.
