commit 6c810cf20feef0d4338e9b424ab7f2644a8b353e upstream.

The MIPS Poly1305 implementation is generic MIPS code written such as to
support down to the original MIPS I and MIPS III ISA for the 32-bit and
64-bit variant respectively.  Lift the current limitation then to enable
code for MIPSr1 ISA or newer processors only and have it available for
all MIPS processors.

This patch adds a new network driver implementing MHI transport for
network packets. Packets can be in any format, though QMAP (rmnet)
is the usual protocol (flow control + PDN mux).

It support two MHI devices, IP_HW0 which is, the path to the IPA
(IP accelerator) on qcom modem, And IP_SW0 which is the software
driven IP path (to modem CPU).

<title>wimax: move out to staging</title>

There are no known users of this driver as of October 2020, and it will
be removed unless someone turns out to still need it in future releases.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WiMAX_networks, there
have been many public wimax networks, but it appears that many of these
have migrated to LTE or discontinued their service altogether.
As most PCs and phones lack WiMAX hardware support, the remaining
networks tend to use standalone routers. These almost certainly
run Linux, but not a modern kernel or the mainline wimax driver stack.

NetworkManager appears to have dropped userspace support in 2015
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747846, the
www.linuxwimax.org
site had already shut down earlier.

WiMax is apparently still being deployed on airport campus networks
("AeroMACS"), but in a frequency band that was not supported by the old
Intel 2400m (used in Sandy Bridge laptops and earlier), which is the
only driver using the kernel's wimax stack.

Move all files into drivers/staging/wimax, including the uapi header
files and documentation, to make it easier to remove it when it gets
to that. Only minimal changes are made to the source files, in order
to make it possible to port patches across the move.

Also remove the MAINTAINERS entry that refers to a broken mailing
list and website.

Move all the MDIO drivers and multiplexers into drivers/net/mdio.  The
mdio core is however left in the phy directory, due to mutual
dependencies between the MDIO core and the PHY core.

Take this opportunity to sort the Kconfig based on the menuconfig

<title>xen networking: add basic XDP support for xen-netfront</title>

<content type='text'>
The patch adds a basic XDP processing to xen-netfront driver.

We ran an XDP program for an RX response received from netback
driver. Also we request xen-netback to adjust data offset for
bpf_xdp_adjust_head() header space for custom headers.

synchronization between frontend and backend parts is done
by using xenbus state switching:
Reconfiguring -&gt; Reconfigured- &gt; Connected

UDP packets drop rate using xdp program is around 310 kpps
using ./pktgen_sample04_many_flows.sh and 160 kpps without the patch.

Organize driver documentation by device type. Most documents
have fairly verbose yet uninformative names, so let users
first select a well defined device type, and then search for
a particular driver.

While at it rename the section from Vendor drivers to
Hardware drivers. This seems more accurate, besides people
sometimes refer to out-of-tree drivers as vendor drivers.

<content type='text'>
Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'
