Off-chip NICs can run hotter than the CPU, so they're definitely
worth instrumenting.
Adding hardware monitoring increases by ~3744 and ~2672 bytes,
respectively, the sizes of the igb.ko and ixgbe.ko drivers.

In kernel 4.14 hwmon support can be deactivated for the tg3 driver,
deactivate it by default to save some space.

The default e1000e parameters (interrupt throttling rate, MSI/MSI-X
mode) are optimized for desktop and server computers to optimize
user-space execution (i.e. what's typically referred to as "useful"
work). This assumption breaks on a router under load where most of
the "useful" work actually takes place either in hardware interrupt
handlers (IRQ) or at software IRQ (swirq) modes, so we try to reflect
that by overriding these parameters with more appropriate values.

The firmware directory in the Linux kernel was removed in kernel 4.14,
take the e100 firmware files now from the linux-firmware repository
instead. To do so create the new package e100-firmware. This will also
work with older kernel versions.

These adapters support SR-IOV. Thus the host can assign Virtual Functions
(VFs) to different VMs by the PCI-E Passthrough (e.g. VFIO for KVM), to
gain different advantages (performance, VF to VF communications, host
kernel offload, etc.).

Intel(R) 82576 is an adapter which supports SR-IOV. Thus the host can
assign Virtual Functions (VFs) to different VMs by the PCI-E Passthrough
(e.g. VFIO for KVM), to gain different advantages (performance, VF to VF
communications, host kernel offload, etc.).
The driver of the passthroughed VFs is the igbvf (igb is NOT
compatible).
This is essential for VM guests, to enable them to utilize this feature.

The igb kmods selects kmod-i2c-algo-bit which in turn is invisible until
kmod-i2c-core gets selected, causing kmod-igb to be hidden from menuconfig
as well.
Let kmod-igb select kmod-i2c-core as well in order to make it visible
in menuconfig right away.

Instead of converting the firmware files ourselves, use the files
generated during the normal kernel build process. This fixes packaging
kmod-e100 in the SDK environment.

We just moved the stmmac support in the kernel for ipq806x. Therefore,
nobody needs this driver so we'll just get rid of it.

This driver is upstream since 2012 (commit: a8e510f682f), so switch to

together with other phy drivers.

The GW16083 Ethernet Expansion Mezzanine adds the following to supported
Gateworks baseboards:
* 7-port Ethernet Switch
* 4x RJ45 ports (ENET1-4) supporing 802.11af/at PoE (with optional PoE module)
* 2x RJ45 ports or SFP module (ENET5-6) (auto-selected)
This series adds support for a phy driver that adds support for ENET5/ENET6
PHY adding initialization for those PHY's and a polling mechanism that detects
SFP insertion and configuration.
