And I tend to agree based on the similarity with the two Olicard
modems we already have here.

Each iPad model has a different product id, this patch adds support for iPad 2
(pid 0x12a2) and iPad 3 (pid 0x12a6). Note that iPad 2 must be jailbroken and a
third-party app must be used for tethering to work. On iPad 3, tethering works
out of the box (assuming your ISP is nice).

The min_tx_pkt variable decides the cutoff point where the driver
will stop padding out NTBs to maximum size. The padding is a tradeoff
where we use some USB bus bandwidth to allow the device to receive
fixed size buffers. Different devices will have different optimal
settings, spanning from no padding at all to padding every NTB.
There is no way to automatically figure out which setting is best
for a specific device.

The default value is a reasonable tradeoff, calculated based on the
USB packet size and out NTB max size. This may have to be changed
along with any tx_max changes.

The mandatory GetNtbParameters control request is an important part of
the host &lt;-&gt; device protocol negotiation in CDC NCM (and CDC MBIM). It
gives device limits which the host must obey when configuring the
protocol aggregation variables. The driver will enforce this by
rejecting attempts to set any of the tunable variables to a value
which is not supported by the device.  Exporting the parameter block
helps userspace decide which values are allowed without resorting
to trial and error.

The ethtool coalesce API is not applicable for this driver. Forcing
it to fit the NCM aggregation redefined the API in a driver specific
way, which is much worse than defining a clean new API. These ethtool
coalesce functions have therefore been replaced by a new sysfs API.

<title>net: cdc_ncm: use sysfs for rx/tx aggregation tuning</title>

Attach a driver specific sysfs group to the netdev, and use it
for the rx/tx aggregation variables.

The datagram aggregation defined by the CDC NCM specification is
specific to this device class (including CDC MBIM). Using the
ethtool interrupt coalesce API as an interface to the aggregation
parameters redefined that API in a driver specific and confusing
way.  A sysfs group
 - makes it clear that this is a driver specific userspace API, and
 - allows us to export the real values instead of some translated
   version, and
 - lets us include more aggregation variables which were impossible
   to force into the ethtool API.

Additionally, using sysfs allows tuning the driver on space
constrained hosts where userspace tools like ethtool are undesired.

<title>net: cdc_ncm: inform usbnet when rx buffers are reduced</title>

It doesn't matter whether the buffer size goes up or down.  We have to
keep usbnet and device syncronized to be able to split transfers at the
correct boundaries. The spec allow skipping short packets when using
max sized transfers.  If we don't tell usbnet about our new expected rx
buffer size, then it will merge and/or split NTBs.  The driver does not
support this, and the result will be lots of framing errors.

Fix by always reallocating usbnet rx buffers when the rx_max value
changes.

We are calling usbnet_start_xmit() to flush any remaining data,
depending on the side effect that tx_curr_skb is set to NULL,
ensuring a new allocation using the updated tx_max.  But this
side effect will only happen if there were any cached data ready
to transmit. If not, then an empty tx_curr_skb is still allocated
using the old tx_max size. Free it to avoid a buffer overrun.
