Subject: [PATCH v3] r8152: Add support for setting pass through MAC address on RTL8153-AD
Date: Mon,  6 Jun 2016 09:15:20 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1465222521-7217-1-git-send-email-mario_limonciello@dell.com> (raw)

Since this is a Realtek feature, I feel this shouldn't be moved into a platform
MAC address lookup.  The code should only be run when the correct Realtek device
is plugged in.

Changes from v2:
 * Only apply to RTL8153-AD w/ eFuse pass through mac address pass thru
   bit set.
 * Drop matching DMI information on Dell.  Although this is implemented on
   Dell, this is a Realtek feature that may may be implemented on other
   OEMs as well.
 * Test that pass through MAC address is valid, fall back to HW address if
   invalid.
 * Don't track status of which device has MAC pass through activated.
 - Expected experience is that if two docks (RTL8153-AD's w/ mac pass thru
   bit set) were plugged in both should have MAC pass through activated.
