Merge branch 'net-Introduce-ndo_get_port_parent_id'
Florian Fainelli says:
====================
net: Introduce ndo_get_port_parent_id()
Based on discussion with Ido and feedback from Jakub there are clearly
two classes of users that implement SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PARENT_ID:
- PF/VF drivers which typically only implement return the port's parent
ID, yet have to implement switchdev_port_attr_get() just for that
- Ethernet switch drivers: mlxsw, ocelot, DSA, etc. which implement more
attributes which we want to be able to eventually veto in the context
of the caller, thus making them candidates for using a blocking notifier
chain
Changes in v4:
- remove superfluous net/switchdev.h inclusions in a few files
- added Jiri's Acked-by where given
- removed err = -EOPNOTSUPP initializations
- changed according to Jiri's suggestion in net/ipv4/ipmr.c
Changes in v3:
- keep ethsw's switchdev_ops assignment
- remove inclusion of net/switchdev.h in netdevsim which is no longer
necesary
Changes in v2:
- resolved build failures spotted by kbuild test robot
- added helpers functions into the core network device layer:
dev_get_port_parent_id() and netdev_port_same_parent_id();
- added support for recursion to lower devices
Changes from RFC:
- introduce a ndo_get_port_parent_id() and convert all relevant drivers
to use it
- get rid of SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PARENT_ID
A subsequent set of patches will convert switchdev_port_attr_set() to
use a blocking notifier call, and still get rid of
switchdev_port_attr_get() altogether.
