Merge branch 'ethtool-write-firmware'
Danielle Ratson says: ==================== ethtool: Add support for writing firmware In the CMIS specification for pluggable modules, LPL (Local Payload) and EPL (Extended Payload) are two types of data payloads used for managing various functions and features of the module. EPL payloads are used for more complex and extensive management functions that require a larger amount of data, so writing firmware blocks using EPL is much more efficient. Currently, only LPL payload is supported for writing firmware blocks to the module. Add support for writing firmware block using EPL payload, both to support modules that support only EPL write mechanism, and to optimize the flashing process of modules that support LPL and EPL. Running the flashing command on the same sample module using EPL vs. LPL showed an improvement of 84%. Patchset overview: Patch #1: preparations Patch #2: Add EPL support v5: Resending- no changes. v4: Resending the right version after wrong v3. No changes from v2. v2: * Fix the commit meassges to align the cover letter about the right meaning of LPL and EPL. Patch #2: * Initialize the variable 'bytes_written' before the first iteration. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>
