Commit 80b9414832a1 ("docs: octeontx2: Add Documentation for NPA health
reporters") added new documentation with improper formatting for rst, and
caused a few new warnings for make htmldocs in octeontx2.rst:169--202.

Tune markup and formatting for better presentation in the HTML view.

Pull ARM SoC driver updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "There are a couple of subsystems maintained by other people that merge
  their drivers through the SoC tree, those changes include:

   - The SCMI firmware framework gains support for sensor notifications
     and for controlling voltage domains.

   - A large update for the Tegra memory controller driver, integrating
     it better with the interconnect framework

   - The memory controller subsystem gains support for Mediatek MT8192

   - The reset controller framework gains support for sharing pulsed
     resets

  For Soc specific drivers in drivers/soc, the main changes are

   - The Allwinner/sunxi MBUS gets a rework for the way it handles
     dma_map_ops and offsets between physical and dma address spaces.

   - An errata fix plus some cleanups for Freescale Layerscape SoCs

   - A cleanup for renesas drivers regarding MMIO accesses.

   - New SoC specific drivers for Mediatek MT8192 and MT8183 power
     domains

   - New SoC specific drivers for Aspeed AST2600 LPC bus control and SoC
     identification.

   - Core Power Domain support for Qualcomm MSM8916, MSM8939, SDM660 and
     SDX55.

   - A rework of the TI AM33xx 'genpd' power domain support to use
     information from DT instead of platform data

   - Support for TI AM64x SoCs

   - Allow building some Amlogic drivers as modules instead of built-in

  Finally, there are numerous cleanups and smaller bug fixes for
  Mediatek, Tegra, Samsung, Qualcomm, TI OMAP, Amlogic, Rockchips,
  Renesas, and Xilinx SoCs"

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - support "prefer busy polling" NAPI operation mode, where we defer
     softirq for some time expecting applications to periodically busy
     poll

   - AF_XDP: improve efficiency by more batching and hindering the
     adjacency cache prefetcher

   - af_packet: make packet_fanout.arr size configurable up to 64K

   - tcp: optimize TCP zero copy receive in presence of partial or
     unaligned reads making zero copy a performance win for much smaller
     messages

   - XDP: add bulk APIs for returning / freeing frames

   - sched: support fragmenting IP packets as they come out of conntrack

   - net: allow virtual netdevs to forward UDP L4 and fraglist GSO skbs

  BPF:

   - BPF switch from crude rlimit-based to memcg-based memory accounting

   - BPF type format information for kernel modules and related tracing
     enhancements

   - BPF implement task local storage for BPF LSM

   - allow the FENTRY/FEXIT/RAW_TP tracing programs to use
     bpf_sk_storage

  Protocols:

   - mptcp: improve multiple xmit streams support, memory accounting and
     many smaller improvements

   - TLS: support CHACHA20-POLY1305 cipher

   - seg6: add support for SRv6 End.DT4/DT6 behavior

   - sctp: Implement RFC 6951: UDP Encapsulation of SCTP

   - ppp_generic: add ability to bridge channels directly

   - bridge: Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) support as is defined
     in IEEE 802.1Q section 12.14.

  Drivers:

   - mlx5: make use of the new auxiliary bus to organize the driver
     internals

   - mlx5: more accurate port TX timestamping support

   - mlxsw:
      - improve the efficiency of offloaded next hop updates by using
        the new nexthop object API
      - support blackhole nexthops
      - support IEEE 802.1ad (Q-in-Q) bridging

   - ath11k: Fast Initial Link Setup (FILS)

   - mt7915: dual band concurrent (DBDC) support

   - net: ipa: add basic support for IPA v4.5

  Refactor:

   - a few pieces of in_interrupt() cleanup work from Sebastian Andrzej
     Siewior

   - phy: add support for shared interrupts; get rid of multiple driver
     APIs and have the drivers write a full IRQ handler, slight growth
     of driver code should be compensated by the simpler API which also
     allows shared IRQs

   - add common code for handling netdev per-cpu counters

   - move TX packet re-allocation from Ethernet switch tag drivers to a
     central place

   - improve efficiency and rename nla_strlcpy

   - number of W=1 warning cleanups as we now catch those in a patchwork
     build bot

  Old code removal:

   - wan: delete the DLCI / SDLA drivers

   - wimax: move to staging

   - wifi: remove old WDS wifi bridging support"

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:

 - Add redirect_neigh() BPF packet redirect helper, allowing to limit
   stack traversal in common container configs and improving TCP
   back-pressure.

   Daniel reports ~10Gbps =&gt; ~15Gbps single stream TCP performance gain.

 - Expand netlink policy support and improve policy export to user
   space. (Ge)netlink core performs request validation according to
   declared policies. Expand the expressiveness of those policies
   (min/max length and bitmasks). Allow dumping policies for particular
   commands. This is used for feature discovery by user space (instead
   of kernel version parsing or trial and error).

 - Support IGMPv3/MLDv2 multicast listener discovery protocols in
   bridge.

 - Allow more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces.

 - Add support for Type of Service (ToS) reflection in SYN/SYN-ACK
   packets of TCPv6.

 - In Multi-patch TCP (MPTCP) support concurrent transmission of data on
   multiple subflows in a load balancing scenario. Enhance advertising
   addresses via the RM_ADDR/ADD_ADDR options.

 - Support SMC-Dv2 version of SMC, which enables multi-subnet
   deployments.

 - Allow more calls to same peer in RxRPC.

 - Support two new Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols - CAN-FD and
   ISO 15765-2:2016.

 - Add xfrm/IPsec compat layer, solving the 32bit user space on 64bit
   kernel problem.

 - Add TC actions for implementing MPLS L2 VPNs.

 - Improve nexthop code - e.g. handle various corner cases when nexthop
   objects are removed from groups better, skip unnecessary
   notifications and make it easier to offload nexthops into HW by
   converting to a blocking notifier.

 - Support adding and consuming TCP header options by BPF programs,
   opening the doors for easy experimental and deployment-specific TCP
   option use.

 - Reorganize TCP congestion control (CC) initialization to simplify
   life of TCP CC implemented in BPF.

 - Add support for shipping BPF programs with the kernel and loading
   them early on boot via the User Mode Driver mechanism, hence reusing
   all the user space infra we have.

 - Support sleepable BPF programs, initially targeting LSM and tracing.

 - Add bpf_d_path() helper for returning full path for given 'struct
   path'.

 - Make bpf_tail_call compatible with bpf-to-bpf calls.

 - Allow BPF programs to call map_update_elem on sockmaps.

 - Add BPF Type Format (BTF) support for type and enum discovery, as
   well as support for using BTF within the kernel itself (current use
   is for pretty printing structures).

 - Support listing and getting information about bpf_links via the bpf
   syscall.

 - Enhance kernel interfaces around NIC firmware update. Allow
   specifying overwrite mask to control if settings etc. are reset
   during update; report expected max time operation may take to users;
   support firmware activation without machine reboot incl. limits of
   how much impact reset may have (e.g. dropping link or not).

 - Extend ethtool configuration interface to report IEEE-standard
   counters, to limit the need for per-vendor logic in user space.

 - Adopt or extend devlink use for debug, monitoring, fw update in many
   drivers (dsa loop, ice, ionic, sja1105, qed, mlxsw, mv88e6xxx,
   dpaa2-eth).

 - In mlxsw expose critical and emergency SFP module temperature alarms.
   Refactor port buffer handling to make the defaults more suitable and
   support setting these values explicitly via the DCBNL interface.

 - Add XDP support for Intel's igb driver.

 - Support offloading TC flower classification and filtering rules to
   mscc_ocelot switches.

 - Add PTP support for Marvell Octeontx2 and PP2.2 hardware, as well as
   fixed interval period pulse generator and one-step timestamping in
   dpaa-eth.

 - Add support for various auth offloads in WiFi APs, e.g. SAE (WPA3)
   offload.

 - Add Lynx PHY/PCS MDIO module, and convert various drivers which have
   this HW to use it. Convert mvpp2 to split PCS.

 - Support Marvell Prestera 98DX3255 24-port switch ASICs, as well as
   7-port Mediatek MT7531 IP.

 - Add initial support for QCA6390 and IPQ6018 in ath11k WiFi driver,
   and wcn3680 support in wcn36xx.

 - Improve performance for packets which don't require much offloads on
   recent Mellanox NICs by 20% by making multiple packets share a
   descriptor entry.

 - Move chelsio inline crypto drivers (for TLS and IPsec) from the
   crypto subtree to drivers/net. Move MDIO drivers out of the phy
   directory.

 - Clean up a lot of W=1 warnings, reportedly the actively developed
   subsections of networking drivers should now build W=1 warning free.

 - Make sure drivers don't use in_interrupt() to dynamically adapt their
   code. Convert tasklets to use new tasklet_setup API (sadly this
   conversion is not yet complete).

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:

 - Add redirect_neigh() BPF packet redirect helper, allowing to limit
   stack traversal in common container configs and improving TCP
   back-pressure.

   Daniel reports ~10Gbps =&gt; ~15Gbps single stream TCP performance gain.

 - Expand netlink policy support and improve policy export to user
   space. (Ge)netlink core performs request validation according to
   declared policies. Expand the expressiveness of those policies
   (min/max length and bitmasks). Allow dumping policies for particular
   commands. This is used for feature discovery by user space (instead
   of kernel version parsing or trial and error).

 - Support IGMPv3/MLDv2 multicast listener discovery protocols in
   bridge.

The PCI vendor IDs in the documentation inaccurately describe the ENA
devices. For example, the 1d0f:ec20 can have LLQ support. The driver
loads in LLQ mode by default, and a message is printed to the kernel
ring if the mode isn't supported by the device, so the device table
isn't needed.

Also, LLQ can support various entry sizes, so the documentation is
updated to reflect that.

Interrupt moderation description is also updated to be more accurate.

The formal name changes to "ENA_ADMIN_RSS_INDIRECTION_TABLE_CONFIG".
Indirection is the ability to reference "something" using "something else"
instead of the value itself.
Indirection table, as the name implies, is the ability to reference
CPU/Queue value using hash-to-CPU table instead of CPU/Queue itself.

This patch renames the variable keys_num, which describes the number of
words in the RSS hash key, to key_parts which makes its purpose clearer
in RSS context.

LICENSE.qla3xxx can be found in

  - A copyright notice

    This copyright notice is redundant as all files contain the same
    copyright notice already

  - A license notice

    You may modify and redistribute the device driver code under the GNU
    General Public License (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit

    version).

    This can be replaced with the corresponding SPDX license identifier
    (GPL-2.0-or-later) in the source files which reference this license
    file.

  - A license for the device firmware

    This license is pointless in the context of the kernel as the firmware
    is not distributed as part of the kernel.

    LICENSE.qla2xxx contained exactly the same firmware license which was
    removed with commit bc3f957c069f ("[SCSI] qla2xxx: Update
    LICENSE.qla2xxx.").

    The firmware license is there due to the fact that the out of tree
    driver tarball which was available from the qlogic website contained
    the firmware binary. The firmware license in the qla3xxx license file
    got probably forgotten when the other qlogic license files were
    updated.

Remove the notices and add the SPDX license identifier GPL-2.0-or-later to
the source files.

Finally remove the now redundant LICENSE.qla3xxx file.
