====================
slight optimization of addr compare for some modules
Joe Perches add ether_addr_equal_unaligned to test if
possibly unaligned to u16 Ethernet addresses are equal.
If CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set, this uses
the slightly faster generic routine ether_addr_equal,
otherwise this uses memcmp.
So I use the recently added and possibly more efficient
ether_addr_equal_unaligned to instead of memcmp for slight
optimization.
v2: Because a lot of places are already using 16b aligned MAC
address for both operands, so use the ether_addr_equal to
instead of ether_addr_equal_unaligned.Thanks for Joe, Alex
and Antonio's opinions.
Also remove the patch for bridge.
v3: According Joe's suggestion, the patch
(net: slight optimization of addr compare for some modules)
should be broken into several patches, and it will be good
to review for maintainers. So I will send rest of the patches
for first step, and next step, I will seperate the netdev patch
and send them by another patchset for net-next.
also fix some changelog.
v3.5 Change some style for patch 8 and patch 13. Thanks for
Sergei's suggestion.

When adding a new vxlan device to an "underlying carrier" (here:
dst->remote_ifindex), the MTU size assigned to the vxlan device
is the MTU at setup time of the carrier - needed headroom, when
adding a vxlan device w/o explicit carrier, then it defaults
to 1500.
In case of an explicit carrier that supports jumbo frames, we
currently cannot change vxlan MTU via ip(8) to > 1500 in
post-setup time, as vxlan driver uses eth_change_mtu() as default
method for manually setting MTU.
Hence, use a custom implementation that only falls back to
eth_change_mtu() in case we didn't use a dev parameter on device
setup time, and otherwise allow a max MTU setting of the carrier
incl. adjustment for headroom.

b44: add support for external PHY
This adds support for an external phy connected to the mac controlled
by b44. This is used on home routers of the BCM47xx line where this MAC
core was used and is contended to an external switch core through MII.
These patches are in OpenWrt for some time and are tested by different
users with different devices.
The publicly available Programmer's Reference Guide for some of these
chips help making this patch it would be nice to have such a
documentation for more Broadcom Chips like some SoCs.

The ADM6996L switch and some Broadcom switches with two MII interfaces
like the BCM5325F connected to two MACs on the SoC, used on some
routers do not return a valid value when reading the PHY id register
and Linux thinks there is no PHY at all, but that is wrong.
This patch registers a fixed phy in the arch code and then searches it
when there is no other phy in the Ethernet driver code.

Most of the older home routers based on the Broadcom BCM47XX SoC series
are using a MAC that is supported by b44. On most of these routers not
the internal PHY of this MAC core is used, but a switch sometimes on an
external chip or integrated into the same SoC as the Ethernet core.
For this switch a special PHY driver is needed which should not be
integrated into b44 as the same switches are also used by other
Broadcom home networking SoCs which are using different Ethernet MAC
drivers. This was tested with the b53 switch driver which is currently
on its way to mainline.
If the internal PHY is not used, b44 will now search on the MDIO bus
for a phy and use the Linux phylib subsystem to register a driver.
Support for the internal PHY must stay here, because there are some
device which are suing the internal phy.
With this patch we scan the mdio bus when the sprom or nvram says that
the PHY address is 30, if a PHY was found at this address b44 uses it.
This was tested with a BCM4704, BCM4712 and BCM5354.

The PHY address 30 means there is no local PHY, but there could be an

The Ethernet core supported by b44 supports an internal PHY integrated
into the mac core, which is supported by the b44 driver and an external
PHY to which the mac core is connected. This external PHY could be a
switch connected through MII, which is often the case when this core is
used on home routers. The usage of an external PHY was assumed when the
PHY address 30 was used and an internal PHY was assumed when the PHY
address was different. To verify that b44_phy_reset() was called and
checked if it worked, otherwise PHY address 30 was assumed, an external
PHY. It is better to check the register which says which PHY is
connected to the MAC instead of checking the PHY address.
The interface to an external PHY was only activated when this register
was set.
This also changes B44_FLAG_INTERNAL_PHY to B44_FLAG_EXTERNAL_PHY, it is
easier to check.

right above RTT between hosts.
We can receive a ACK for a packet still in NIC TX ring buffer or in a
softnet completion queue.
Fix this by always pushing the skb if it is at the head of write queue.
Also, as TX completion is lockless, it's safer to perform sk_wmem_alloc
