The CDC-ECM specification [1] requires to send the host MAC address as
an uppercase hexadecimal string in chapter "5.4 Ethernet Networking
Functional Descriptor":
    The Unicode character is chosen from the set of values 30h through
    39h and 41h through 46h (0-9 and A-F).

However, snprintf(.., "%pm", ..) generates a lowercase MAC address
string. While most host drivers are tolerant to this, UsbNcm.sys on
Windows 10 is not. Instead it uses a different MAC address with all
bytes set to zero including and after the first byte containing a
lowercase letter. On Windows 11 Microsoft fixed it, but apparently they
did not backport the fix.

This change fixes the issue by upper-casing the MAC to comply with the
specification.

When host sends suspend notification to the device, handle
the suspend callbacks in the function driver. Depending on
the remote wakeup capability the device can either trigger a
remote wakeup or wait for the host initiated resume to resume
data transfer.

<content type='text'>
The function gether_setup_name_default() is called by various USB
ethernet gadget drivers. Calling this function will select a random
host and device MAC addresses. A properly working driver should be
silent and not warn the user about default MAC addresses selection.
Given that the MAC addresses are also printed when the function
gether_register_netdev() is called, remove these unnecessary warnings.

The USB ethernet gadget driver implements its own print macros which
call printk. Device drivers should use the device prints that print the
device name. Fortunately, the same macro names are defined in the header
file 'linux/usb/composite.h' and these use the device prints. Therefore,
remove the local definitions in the USB ethernet gadget driver and use
those in 'linux/usb/composite.h'. The only difference is that now the
device name is printed instead of the ethernet interface name.

Tested using ethernet gadget on Jetson AGX Orin.

This reverts commit 321b59870f850a10dbb211ecd2bd87b41497ea6f.

This commit broke USB networking on Ingenic SoCs and maybe elsewhere.
The actual reason is unknown; and while a proper fix would be better,
we're sitting at -rc7 now, so a revert is justified - and we can work on
re-introducing this change for 6.3.

The UDC is not a suitable parent of the net device as the UDC can
change or vanish during the lifecycle of the ethernet gadget. This
can be illustrated with the following:

mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/mygadget
cd /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/mygadget
mkdir -p configs/c.1/strings/0x409
echo "C1:Composite Device" &gt; configs/c.1/strings/0x409/configuration
mkdir -p functions/ecm.usb0
ln -s functions/ecm.usb0 configs/c.1/
echo "dummy_udc.0" &gt; UDC
rmmod dummy_hcd

The 'rmmod' removes the UDC from the just created gadget, leaving
the still existing net device with a no longer existing parent.

Accessing the ethernet device with commands like:

ip --details link show usb0

will result in a KASAN splat:

<title>usb: gadget: u_ether: fix regression in setting fixed MAC address</title>

<id>b337af3a4d6147000b7ca6b3438bf5c820849b37</id>
<content type='text'>
In systemd systems setting a fixed MAC address through
the "dev_addr" module argument fails systematically.
When checking the MAC address after the interface is created
it always has the same but different MAC address to the one
supplied as argument.

This is partially caused by systemd which by default will
set an internally generated permanent MAC address for interfaces
that are marked as having a randomly generated address.

Commit 890d5b40908bfd1a ("usb: gadget: u_ether: fix race in
setting MAC address in setup phase") didn't take into account
the fact that the interface must be marked as having a set
MAC address when it's set as module argument.

Fixed by marking the interface with NET_ADDR_SET when
the "dev_addr" module argument is supplied.

In systemd systems setting a fixed MAC address through
the "dev_addr" module argument fails systematically.
When checking the MAC address after the interface is created
it always has the same but different MAC address to the one
supplied as argument.

This is partially caused by systemd which by default will
set an internally generated permanent MAC address for interfaces
that are marked as having a randomly generated address.

Commit 890d5b40908bfd1a ("usb: gadget: u_ether: fix race in
setting MAC address in setup phase") didn't take into account
the fact that the interface must be marked as having a set
MAC address when it's set as module argument.

Fixed by marking the interface with NET_ADDR_SET when
the "dev_addr" module argument is supplied.

When listening for notifications through netlink of a new interface being
registered, sporadically, it is possible for the MAC to be read as zero.
The zero MAC address lasts a short period of time and then switches to a
valid random MAC address.

This causes problems for netd in Android, which assumes that the interface
is malfunctioning and will not use it.

In the good case we get this log:
InterfaceController::getCfg() ifName usb0
 hwAddr 92:a8:f0:73:79:5b ipv4Addr 0.0.0.0 flags 0x1002

In the error case we get these logs:
InterfaceController::getCfg() ifName usb0
 hwAddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 ipv4Addr 0.0.0.0 flags 0x1002

netd : interfaceGetCfg("usb0")
netd : interfaceSetCfg() -&gt; ServiceSpecificException
 (99, "[Cannot assign requested address] : ioctl() failed")

The reason for the issue is the order in which the interface is setup,
it is first registered through register_netdev() and after the MAC
address is set.

Fixed by first setting the MAC address of the net_device and after that
calling register_netdev().
