Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Firmware version update This patchset updates mlxsw to use a new firmware version and adds support for split into two ports on Spectrum-2 based systems. Patch #1 updates the firmware version to 13.2000.1122 Patch #2 queries new resources from the firmware. Patch #3 makes use of these resources in order to support split into two ports on Spectrum-2 based systems. The need for these resources is explained by Shalom: When splitting a port, different local ports need to be mapped on different systems. For example: SN3700 (local_ports_in_2x=2): * Without split: front panel 1 --> local port 1 front panel 2 --> local port 5 * Split to 2: front panel 1s0 --> local port 1 front panel 1s1 --> local port 3 front panel 2 --> local port 5 SN3800 (local_ports_in_2x=1): * Without split: front panel 1 --> local port 1 front panel 2 --> local port 3 * Split to 2: front panel 1s0 --> local port 1 front panel 1s1 --> local port 2 front panel 2 --> local port 3 The local_ports_in_{1x, 2x} resources provide the offsets from the base local ports according to which the new local ports can be calculated. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
