<id>urn:sha1:68cbdb150d55834ed0a52352684ba2cc554c8a08</id>
<content type='text'>
The driver is using iowriteXX()/ioreadXX() APIs which are LE IO
accessors simplified as

  1. Convert given value _from_ CPU _to_ LE
  2. Write it to the device as is

The dev_addr is a byte stream, but because the driver uses 16-bit
IO accessors, it wants to perform double conversion on BE CPUs,
but it took it wrong, as it effectivelly does two times _from_ CPU
_to_ LE. What it has to do is to consider dev_addr as an array of
LE16 and hence do _from_ LE _to_ CPU conversion, followed by implied
_from_ CPU _to_ LE in the iowrite16().

To achieve that, use get_unaligned_le16(). This will make it correct
and allows to avoid sparse warning as reported by LKP.

Variable cnt is just being incremented and it's never used
anywhere else. The variable and the increment are redundant so
remove it.

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this
subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used.

<title>net: sundance: Replace one-element array with non-array object</title>

<content type='text'>
It seems this one-element array is not actually being used as an
array of variable size, so we can just replace it with just a
non-array object of type struct desc_frag and refactor a bit the
rest of the code.

This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds
and get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines
on memcpy().

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed,
manually.

Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev-&gt;dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.

This patch takes care of drivers which cast netdev-&gt;dev_addr to
a 16bit type, often with an explicit byte order.

This big patch sprinkles const on local variables and
function arguments which may refer to netdev-&gt;dev_addr.

Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev-&gt;dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.

Some of the changes here are not strictly required - const
is sometimes cast off but pointer is not used for writing.
It seems like it's still better to add the const in case
the code changes later or relevant -W flags get enabled
for the build.

No functional changes.

<title>dev_ioctl: split out ndo_eth_ioctl</title>

Most users of ndo_do_ioctl are ethernet drivers that implement
the MII commands SIOCGMIIPHY/SIOCGMIIREG/SIOCSMIIREG, or hardware
timestamping with SIOCSHWTSTAMP/SIOCGHWTSTAMP.

Separate these from the few drivers that use ndo_do_ioctl to
implement SIOCBOND, SIOCBR and SIOCWANDEV commands.

This is a purely cosmetic change intended to help readers find
their way through the implementation.
