Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of staging driver updates for 6.7-rc1. A bit
  bigger than 6.6 this time around, as it coincided with the Outreachy
  and mentorship application process, so we got a bunch of new
  developers sending in their first changes, which is nice to see.

  Also in here is a removal of the qlge ethernet driver, and the
  rtl8192u wireless driver. Both of these were very old and no one was
  maintaining them, the wireless driver removal was due to no one using
  it anymore, and no hardware to be found, and is part of a larger
  effort to remove unused and old wifi drivers from the system.

  The qlge ethernet driver did have one user pop up after it was
  dropped, and we are working with the network mainainers to figure out
  what tree it will come back in from and who will be responsible for
  it, and if it really is being used or not. Odds are it will show up in
  a network subsystem pull request after -rc1 is out, but we aren't sure
  yet.

  Other smaller changes in here are:

   - Lots of vc04_services work by Umang to clean up the mess created by
     the rpi developers long ago, bringing it almost into good enough
     shape to get out of staging, hopefully next major release, it's
     getting close.

   - rtl8192e variable cleanups and removal of unused code and
     structures

   - vme_user coding style cleanups

   - other small coding style cleanups to lots of the staging drivers

   - octeon typedef removals, and then last-minute revert when it was
     found to break the build in some configurations (it's a hard driver
     to build properly, none of the normal automated testing catches
     it.)

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"

Pull ia64 removal and asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:

   maintained as an LTS kernel.

 - The architecture specific system call tables are updated for the
   added map_shadow_stack() syscall and to remove references to the
   long-gone sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.

No significant improvements have been done to this driver since commit
a7c3ddf29a78 ("staging: qlge: clean up debugging code in the QL_ALL_DUMP
ifdef land") in January 2021. The driver should not stay in staging
forever. Since it has been abandoned by the vendor and no one has stepped
up to maintain it, delete it.

If some users manifest themselves, the driver will be restored to
drivers/net/ as suggested in the linked message.

Commit a12ba19269d7 ("net/mlx5: Update Kconfig parameter documentation")
adds documentation on Kconfig options for the mlx5 driver. It refers to the
config MLX5_EN_MACSEC for MACSec offloading, but the config is actually
called MLX5_MACSEC.

Fix the reference to the right config name in the documentation.

The COPS Appletalk support is very old, never said to actually work
properly, and the firmware code for the devices are under a very suspect
license.  Remove it all to clear up the license issue, if it is still
needed and actually used by anyone, we can add it back later once the
license is cleared up.

<title>idpf: add SRIOV support and other ndo_ops</title>

Add support for SRIOV: send the requested number of VFs
to the device Control Plane, via the virtchnl message
and then enable the VFs using 'pci_enable_sriov'.

Add other ndo ops supported by the driver such as features_check,
set_rx_mode, validate_addr, set_mac_address, change_mtu, get_stats64,
set_features, and tx_timeout. Initialize the statistics task which
requests the queue related statistics to the CP. Add loopback
and promiscuous mode support and the respective virtchnl messages.

Finally, add documentation and build support for the driver.

Pull VFIO updates from Alex Williamson:

 - VFIO direct character device (cdev) interface support. This extracts
   the vfio device fd from the container and group model, and is
   intended to be the native uAPI for use with IOMMUFD (Yi Liu)

 - Enhancements to the PCI hot reset interface in support of cdev usage
   (Yi Liu)

 - Fix a potential race between registering and unregistering vfio files
   in the kvm-vfio interface and extend use of a lock to avoid extra
   drop and acquires (Dmitry Torokhov)

 - A new vfio-pci variant driver for the AMD/Pensando Distributed
   Services Card (PDS) Ethernet device, supporting live migration (Brett
   Creeley)

 - Cleanups to remove redundant owner setup in cdx and fsl bus drivers,
   and simplify driver init/exit in fsl code (Li Zetao)

 - Fix uninitialized hole in data structure and pad capability
   structures for alignment (Stefan Hajnoczi)

Pull VFIO updates from Alex Williamson:

 - VFIO direct character device (cdev) interface support. This extracts
   the vfio device fd from the container and group model, and is
   intended to be the native uAPI for use with IOMMUFD (Yi Liu)

 - Enhancements to the PCI hot reset interface in support of cdev usage
   (Yi Liu)

 - Fix a potential race between registering and unregistering vfio files
   in the kvm-vfio interface and extend use of a lock to avoid extra
   drop and acquires (Dmitry Torokhov)

 - A new vfio-pci variant driver for the AMD/Pensando Distributed
   Services Card (PDS) Ethernet device, supporting live migration (Brett
   Creeley)

 - Cleanups to remove redundant owner setup in cdx and fsl bus drivers,
   and simplify driver init/exit in fsl code (Li Zetao)

 - Fix uninitialized hole in data structure and pad capability
   structures for alignment (Stefan Hajnoczi)

Implement devlink port function commands to enable / disable IPsec
packet offloads. This is used to control the IPsec capability of the
device.

When ipsec_offload is enabled for a VF, it prevents adding IPsec packet
offloads on the PF, because the two cannot be active simultaneously due
to HW constraints. Conversely, if there are any active IPsec packet
offloads on the PF, it's not allowed to enable ipsec_packet on a VF,
until PF IPsec offloads are cleared.
