commit 1d86859fdf31a0d50cc82b5d0d6bfb5fe98f6c00 upstream.

The dev_port is meant to distinguish the network ports belonging to
the same PCI function.  Our devices only have one network port
associated with each PCI function and so we should not set it for
correctness.

<title>libertas: register sysfs groups properly</title>

[ Upstream commit 7e79b38fe9a403b065ac5915465f620a8fb3de84 ]

The libertas driver was trying to register sysfs groups "by hand" which
causes them to be created _after_ the device is initialized and
announced to userspace, which causes races and can prevent userspace
tools from seeing the sysfs files correctly.

Fix this up by using the built-in sysfs_groups pointers in struct
net_device which were created for this very reason, fixing the race
condition, and properly allowing for any error that might have occured
to be handled properly.

<title>net: caif: remove BUG_ON(dev == NULL) in caif_xmit</title>

<published>2021-05-03T11:56:46Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=daa36b283062f8e8c3aef60aeeeb306f6f29bb42'/>
<id>urn:sha1:daa36b283062f8e8c3aef60aeeeb306f6f29bb42</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 65a67792e3416f7c5d7daa47d99334cbb19a7449 ]

The condition of dev == NULL is impossible in caif_xmit(), hence it is
for the removal.

Explanation:
The static caif_xmit() is only called upon via a function pointer
`ndo_start_xmit` defined in include/linux/netdevice.h:
```
struct net_device_ops {
    ...
    netdev_tx_t     (*ndo_start_xmit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev);
    ...
}
```

The exhausive list of call points are:
```
drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/rmnet/rmnet_map_command.c
    dev-&gt;netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_start_xmit(skb, dev);
    ^                                    ^

drivers/infiniband/ulp/opa_vnic/opa_vnic_netdev.c
    struct opa_vnic_adapter *adapter = opa_vnic_priv(netdev);
			     ^                       ^
    return adapter-&gt;rn_ops-&gt;ndo_start_xmit(skb, netdev); // adapter would crash first
	   ^                                    ^

drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_ncm.c
    ncm-&gt;netdev-&gt;netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_start_xmit(NULL, ncm-&gt;netdev);
	      ^                                   ^

include/linux/netdevice.h
static inline netdev_tx_t __netdev_start_xmit(...
{
    return ops-&gt;ndo_start_xmit(skb, dev);
				    ^
}

    const struct net_device_ops *ops = dev-&gt;netdev_ops;
				       ^
    rc = __netdev_start_xmit(ops, skb, dev, more);
				       ^
```

In each of the enumerated scenarios, it is impossible for the NULL-valued dev to
reach the caif_xmit() without crashing the kernel earlier, therefore `BUG_ON(dev ==
NULL)` is rather useless, hence the removal.

deref. To fix this, check the return value of ioremap and return -1

commit db825feefc6868896fed5e361787ba3bee2fd906 upstream.

Fix SFP and QSFP* EEPROM queries by setting i2c_address, offset and page
number correctly. For SFP set the following params:
- I2C address for offsets 0-255 is 0x50. For 256-511 - 0x51.
- Page number is zero.
- Offset is 0-255.

At the same time, QSFP* parameters are different:
- I2C address is always 0x50.
- Page number is not limited to zero.
- Offset is 0-255 for page zero and 128-255 for others.

To set parameters accordingly to cable used, implement function to query
module ID and implement respective helper functions to set parameters
correctly.
