ASIX AX88796[1] is a versatile ethernet adapter chip, that can be connected to a CPU with a 8/16-bit bus or with an SPI. This driver supports SPI connection. The driver has been ported from the vendor kernel for ARTIK5[2] boards. Several changes were made to adapt it to the current kernel which include: + updated DT configuration, + clock configuration moved to DT, + new timer, ethtool and gpio APIs, + dev_* instead of pr_* and custom printk() wrappers, + removed awkward vendor power managemtn. + introduced ethtool tunable to control SPI compression [1] https://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=104;65;86&PLine=65 [2] https://git.tizen.org/cgit/profile/common/platform/kernel/linux-3.10-artik/ The other ax88796 driver is for NE2000 compatible AX88796L chip. These chips are not compatible. Hence, two separate drivers are required. Signed-off-by: Łukasz Stelmach <l.stelmach@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
