Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Hardware monitoring enhancements This patchset from Vadim provides various hardware monitoring related improvements for mlxsw. Patch #1 allows querying firmware version from the switch driver when the underlying bus is I2C. This is useful for baseboard management controller (BMC) systems that communicate with the ASIC over I2C. Patch #2 improves driver's performance over I2C by utilizing larger transactions sizes, if possible. Patch #3 re-orders driver's initialization sequence to enforce a specific firmware version before new firmware features are utilized. This is a prerequisite for patches #4-#6. Patches #4-#6 expose the temperature of inter-connect devices (gearboxes) that are present in Mellanox SN3800 systems and split 2x50Gb/s lanes to 4x25Gb/s lanes. Patches #7-#8 reduce the transaction size when reading SFP modules temperatures, which is crucial when working over I2C. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
