  atl1c: fix issue of io access mode for AR8152 v2.1
and are available in the git repository at:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/net-next master

1.7.10.4

From: Jesse Brandeburg <redacted>

This change modifies the core ethtool struct to allow a driver to
support setting of MDI/MDI-X state for twisted pair wiring.  This
change uses a previously reserved u8 and should not change any
binary compatibility of ethtool.

Also as per Ben Hutchings' suggestion, the capabilities are
stored in a separate byte so the driver can report if it supports
changing settings.

see thread: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2010/11/17/6289820/thread

see ethtool patches titled:
ethtool: allow setting MDI-X state

1.7.10.4

From: Jesse Brandeburg <redacted>

Some users report issues with link failing when connected to certain
switches.  This gives the user the ability to control the MDI state
from the driver, allowing users to work around some improperly
behaving switches.

Current get_settings behavior slightly changes in that now when link
is down get_settings will return the MDI state of the last link
because get_settings needs to succeed to allow the set to work even
when link is down.

Forcing in this driver is for now only allowed when auto-neg is
enabled.

This is in regards to the related ethtool app patch and
bugzilla.kernel.org bug 11998

Why don't you set ecmd->eth_tp_mdix_ctrl here?

If you also leave it as 0, it's impossible for userland to tell whether
the current mode was forced or automatically selected.

Thanks for the review, right now the get interface (and ethtool display) 
doesn't support any way to report if the setting was forced or not.  I 
didn't think about changing the get because I didn't want to modify the 
userland reporting (I also figured it was a simple interface right now, 
and didn't need changing, and was focused on the _set_ which is the part 
fixing the users' reported bugs.)

I think the patches as they currently stand are okay, do you agree? I 
would be glad to submit a followon to implement the new "get" interface if 
we can hash out the interface changes, but I see no reason to gate these 
patches.

Everything else you can change with ETHTOOL_SSET is also reported by
ETHTOOL_GSET; why would this be any different?

You left this for 20 months, what's the hurry now?

Since there some changes that are needed in this patch set, I will drop
this series from my tree so that I can continue pushing additional
ixgbe/ixgbevf patches.
