ice: cleanup language in ice.rst for fw.app

2020-05-01T22:30:24Z

The documentation for the ice driver around "fw.app" has a spelling mistake in variation. Additionally, the language of "shall have a unique name" sounds like a requirement. Reword this to read more like a description or property. Reported-by: Benjamin Fisher Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller Acked-by: Jakub Kicinski Acked-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: provide timestamping information with TSINFO_GET request

2020-03-30T05:32:37Z

Implement TSINFO_GET request to get timestamping information for a network device. This is traditionally available via ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO ioctl request. Move part of ethtool_get_ts_info() into common.c so that ioctl and netlink code use the same logic to get timestamping information from the device. v3: use "TSINFO" rather than "TIMESTAMP", suggested by Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek Acked-by: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: David S.
