a656d34a6e Change Kconfig description
This patch apply Mellanox network vendor which includes:
- Mellanox card devices: ConnectX-4, ConnectX-5 and Connect-IB cards.
- Mellanox switch device: SwitchX-2 Switch-IB, Spectrum.
Therefore rephrasing help.

8122e08b1d Allow Mellanox switch devices to be configured if only I2C bus is set
Mellanox switches (mlxsw) supports I2C systems without PCI, in order to
give the ability to the users to use such functionality, there is need
to update Kconfig.

410ed13cae Add the mlxfw module for Mellanox firmware flash process
The mlxfw module is in charge of common logic needed to flash Mellanox
devices firmware, which consists of:
 - Parse the Mellanox Firmware Archive version 2 (MFA2) format, which is
   the format used to store the Mellanox firmware. The MFA2 format file can
   hold firmware for many different silicon variants, differentiated by a
   unique ID called PSID. In addition, the MFA2 file data section is
   compressed using xz compression to save both file-system space and
   memory at extraction time.
 - Implement the firmware flash state machine logic, which is a common
   logic for Mellanox products needed to flash the firmware to the device.

As the module is shared between different Mellanox products, it defines a
set of callbacks to be implemented by the specific driver for hardware
interaction.

93c1edb27f mlxsw: Introduce Mellanox switch driver core
Add core components of Mellanox switch driver infrastructure.
Core infrastructure is designed so that it can be used by multiple
bus drivers (PCI now, I2C and SGMII are planned to be implemented
in the future). Multiple switch kind drivers can be registered as well.
This core serves as a glue between buses and drivers.

138b15ed87 drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO
This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it.  And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.

However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next.  We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.

No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

e126ba97db mlx5: Add driver for Mellanox Connect-IB adapters
The driver is comprised of two kernel modules: mlx5_ib and mlx5_core.
This partitioning resembles what we have for mlx4, except that mlx5_ib
is the pci device driver and not mlx5_core.

mlx5_core is essentially a library that provides general functionality
that is intended to be used by other Mellanox devices that will be
introduced in the future.  mlx5_ib has a similar role as any hardware
device under drivers/infiniband/hw.

ff33c0e188 net: Remove bogus dependencies on INET
Various drivers depend on INET because they used to select INET_LRO,
but they have all been converted to use GRO which has no such
dependency.

88f07484cc drivers/net/ethernet/*: Enabled vendor Kconfig options
Based on finds for Stephen Rothwell, where current defconfig's
enable a ethernet driver and it is not compiled due to the newly
added NET_VENDOR_* component of Kconfig.

This patch enables all the "new" Kconfig options so that current
defconfig's will continue to compile the expected drivers.  In
addition, by enabling all the new Kconfig options does not add
any un-expected options.
