endpoint descriptor
The Miditech MIDIFACE 16x16 (USB ID 1290:1749) has more than one extra
endpoint descriptor.
The first extra descriptor is: 0x06 0x30 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
As the code in snd_usbmidi_get_ms_info() looks only at the
first extra descriptor to find USB_DT_CS_ENDPOINT the device
as such is recognized but there is neither input nor output
configured.
The patch iterates through the extra descriptors to find the
proper one. With this patch the device is correctly configured.

patch_realtek.c has historically failed to properly configure the PC
Beep Hidden Register for the ALC256 codec (among others). Depending on
your kernel version, symptoms of this misconfiguration can range from
chassis noise, picked up by a poorly-shielded PCBEEP trace, getting
amplified and played on your internal speaker and/or headphones to loud
feedback, which responds to the "Headphone Mic Boost" ALSA control,
getting played through your headphones. For details of the problem, see
the patch in this series titled "ALSA: hda/realtek - Set principled PC
Beep configuration for ALC256", which fixes the configuration.
These symptoms have been most noticed on the Dell XPS 13 9350 and 9360,
popular laptops that use the ALC256. As a result, several model-specific
fixups have been introduced to try and fix the problem, the most
egregious of which locks the "Headphone Mic Boost" control as a hack to
minimize noise from a feedback loop that shouldn't have been there in
the first place.
Now that the underlying issue has been fixed, remove all these fixups.
Remaining fixups needed by the XPS 13 are all picked up by existing pin
quirks.
This change should, for the XPS 13 9350/9360
- Significantly increase volume and audio quality on headphones
- Eliminate headphone popping on suspend/resume
- Allow "Headphone Mic Boost" to be set again, making the headphone
jack fully usable as a microphone jack too.

The Realtek PC Beep Hidden Register[1] is currently set by
patch_realtek.c in two different places:
In alc_fill_eapd_coef(), it's set to the value 0x5757, corresponding to
non-beep input on 1Ah and no 1Ah loopback to either headphones or
speakers. (Although, curiously, the loopback amp is still enabled.) This
write was added fairly recently by commit e3743f431143 ("ALSA:
hda/realtek - Dell headphone has noise on unmute for ALC236") and is a
safe default. However, it happens in the wrong place:
alc_fill_eapd_coef() runs on module load and cold boot but not on S3
resume, meaning the register loses its value after suspend.
Conversely, in alc256_init(), the register is updated to unset bit 13
(disable speaker loopback) and set bit 5 (set non-beep input on 1Ah).
Although this write does run on S3 resume, it's not quite enough to fix
up the register's default value of 0x3717. What's missing is a set of
bit 14 to disable headphone loopback. Without that, we end up with a
feedback loop where the headphone jack is being driven by amplified
samples of itself[2].
This change eliminates the update in alc256_init() and replaces it with
the 0x5757 write from alc_fill_eapd_coef(). Kailang says that 0x5757 is
supposed to be the codec's default value, so using it will make
debugging easier for Realtek.
Affects the ALC255, ALC256, ALC257, ALC235, and ALC236 codecs.
[1] Newly documented in Documentation/sound/hd-audio/realtek-pc-beep.rst
[2] Setting the "Headphone Mic Boost" control from userspace changes
this feedback loop and has been a widely-shared workaround for headphone
noise on laptops like the Dell XPS 13 9350. This commit eliminates the
feedback loop and makes the workaround unnecessary.

This codec (among others) has a hidden set of audio routes, apparently
designed to allow PC Beep output without a mixer widget on the output
path, which are controlled by an undocumented Realtek vendor register.
The default configuration of these routes means that certain inputs
aren't accessible, necessitating driver control of the register.
However, Realtek has provided no documentation of the register, instead
opting to fix issues by providing magic numbers, most of which have been
at least somewhat erroneous. These magic numbers then get copied by
others into model-specific fixups, leading to a fragmented and buggy set
of configurations.
To get out of this situation, I've reverse engineered the register by
flipping bits and observing how the codec's behavior changes. This
commit documents my findings. It does not change any code.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/msm into drm-next
A bit smaller this time around.. there are still a couple uabi
additions for vulkan waiting in the wings, but I punted on them this
cycle due to running low on time. (They should be easy enough to
rebase, and if it is a problem for anyone I can push a next+uabi

The bigger change is refactoring dpu resource manager and moving dpu
to use atomic global state. Other than that, it is mostly cleanups
and fixes.

Thanks Jose Miguel Abreu for the feedback. Summary of v2 patches:
1/3: As suggested to keep the stmmac_pci.c file simple. So created a new
file dwmac-intel.c and moved all the Intel specific PCI device out
of stmmac_pci.c.
2/3: Added Intel(R) Programmable Services Engine (Intel(R) PSE) MAC PCI ID
and PCI info
3/3: Added EHL 2.5Gbps PCI ID and info
Changes from v1:
-Added a patch to move all Intel specific PCI device from stmmac_pci.c to
a new file named dwmac-intel.c.
-Combine v1 patch 1/3 and 2/3 into single patch.

net: dsa: b53 & bcm_sf2 updates for 7278
This patch series contains some updates to the b53 and bcm_sf2 drivers
specifically for the 7278 Ethernet switch.
The first patch is technically a bug fix so it should ideally be
backported to -stable, provided that Dan also agress with my resolution
on this.
Patches #2 through #4 are minor changes to the core b53 driver to
restore VLAN configuration upon system resumption as well as deny
specific bridge/VLAN operations on port 7 with the 7278 which is special
and does not support VLANs.
Patches #5 through #9 add support for matching VLAN TCI keys/masks to
the CFP code.

Commit f949a12fd697 ("net: dsa: bcm_sf2: fix buffer overflow doing
set_rxnfc") tried to fix the some user controlled buffer overflows in
bcm_sf2_cfp_rule_set() and bcm_sf2_cfp_rule_del() but the fix was using
CFP_NUM_RULES, which while it is correct not to overflow the bitmaps, is
not representative of what the device actually supports. Correct that by
using bcm_sf2_cfp_rule_size() instead.
The latter subtracts the number of rules by 1, so change the checks from
greater than or equal to greater than accordingly.

Pull x86 timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A series of commits to make the MSR derived CPU and TSC frequency more
accurate.
It turned out that the frequency tables which have been taken from the
SDM are inaccurate because the SDM provides truncated and rounded
values, e.g. 83.3Mhz (83.3333...) or 116.7Mhz (116.6666...).
This causes time drift in the range of ~1 second per hour (20-30
seconds per day). On some of these SoCs it's not possible to
recalibrate the TSC because there is no reference (PIT, HPET)
available.
With some reverse engineering it was established that the possible
frequencies are derived from the base clock with fixed multiplier /
divider pairs.
For the CPU models which have a known crystal frequency the kernel now
uses multiplier / divider pairs which bring the frequencies closer to
reality and fix the observed time drift issues"

Some newer CPUs have the capability to raise an #AC trap when such an

Ido Schimmel says:
====================
Add packet trap policers support
Background
==========
Devices capable of offloading the kernel's datapath and perform
functions such as bridging and routing must also be able to send (trap)
specific packets to the kernel (i.e., the CPU) for processing.
For example, a device acting as a multicast-aware bridge must be able to
trap IGMP membership reports to the kernel for processing by the bridge
module.
Motivation
==========
In most cases, the underlying device is capable of handling packet rates
that are several orders of magnitude higher compared to those that can
be handled by the CPU.
Therefore, in order to prevent the underlying device from overwhelming
the CPU, devices usually include packet trap policers that are able to
police the trapped packets to rates that can be handled by the CPU.
Proposed solution
=================
This patch set allows capable device drivers to register their supported
packet trap policers with devlink. User space can then tune the
parameters of these policers (currently, rate and burst size) and read
from the device the number of packets that were dropped by the policer,
if supported.
These packet trap policers can then be bound to existing packet trap
groups, which are used to aggregate logically related packet traps. As a
result, trapped packets are policed to rates that can be handled the
host CPU.
Example usage
=============
Instantiate netdevsim:
Dump available packet trap policers:
netdevsim/netdevsim10:
policer 1 rate 1000 burst 128
policer 2 rate 2000 burst 256
policer 3 rate 3000 burst 512
Change the parameters of a packet trap policer:
Bind a packet trap policer to a packet trap group:
Dump parameters and statistics of a packet trap policer:
netdevsim/netdevsim10:
policer 3 rate 100 burst 16
stats:
rx:
dropped 92
Unbind a packet trap policer from a packet trap group:
Patch set overview
==================
Patch #1 adds the core infrastructure in devlink which allows capable
device drivers to register their supported packet trap policers with
devlink.
Patch #2 extends the existing devlink-trap documentation.
Patch #3 extends netdevsim to register a few dummy packet trap policers
with devlink. Used later on to selftests the core infrastructure.
Patches #4-#5 adds infrastructure in devlink to allow binding of packet
trap policers to packet trap groups.
Patch #6 extends netdevsim to allow such binding.
Patch #7 adds a selftest over netdevsim that verifies the core
devlink-trap policers functionality.
Patches #8-#14 gradually add devlink-trap policers support in mlxsw.
Patch #15 adds a selftest over mlxsw. All registered packet trap
policers are verified to handle the configured rate and burst size.
Future plans
============
* Allow changing default association between packet traps and packet
trap groups
* Add more packet traps. For example, for control packets (e.g., IGMP)
v3:
* Rebase
v2 (address comments from Jiri and Jakub):
* Patch #1: Add 'strict_start_type' in devlink policy
* Patch #1: Have device drivers provide max/min rate/burst size for each
policer. Use them to check validity of user provided parameters
* Patch #3: Remove check about burst size being a power of 2 and instead
add a debugfs knob to fail the operation
* Patch #3: Provide max/min rate/burst size when registering policers
and remove the validity checks from nsim_dev_devlink_trap_policer_set()
* Patch #5: Check for presence of 'DEVLINK_ATTR_TRAP_POLICER_ID' in
devlink_trap_group_set() and bail if not present
* Patch #5: Add extack error message in case trap group was partially
modified
* Patch #7: Add test case with new 'fail_trap_policer_set' knob
* Patch #7: Add test case for partially modified trap group
* Patch #10: Provide max/min rate/burst size when registering policers
* Patch #11: Remove the max/min validity checks from
__mlxsw_sp_trap_policer_set()

Some packet traps are currently exposed to user space as being member of
"l3_drops" trap group, but internally they are member of a different
group.
Switch these traps to use the correct group so that they are all subject
to the same policer, as exposed to user space.
Set the trap priority of packets trapped due to loopback error during
routing to the lowest priority. Such packets are not routed again by the
kernel and therefore should not mask other traps (e.g., host miss) that
should be routed.

During initialization the driver configures various packet trap groups
and binds policers to them.
Currently, most of these groups are not exposed to user space and
therefore their policers should not be exposed as well. Otherwise, user
space will be able to alter policer parameters without knowing which
packet traps are policed by the policer.
Use a bitmap to track the used policer IDs so that these policers will
not be registered with devlink in a subsequent patch.

1. Violate counter: reads number of packets dropped by the policer
2. Clear counter: to ensure we start counting from 0
3. Rate and burst size limits

The previous patch allowed device drivers to publish their default
binding between packet trap policers and packet trap groups. However,
some users might not be content with this binding and would like to
change it.
In case user space passed a packet trap policer identifier when setting
a packet trap group, invoke the appropriate device driver callback and
pass the new policer identifier.
v2:
* Check for presence of 'DEVLINK_ATTR_TRAP_POLICER_ID' in
devlink_trap_group_set() and bail if not present

Packet trap groups are used to aggregate logically related packet traps.
Currently, these groups allow user space to batch operations such as
setting the trap action of all member traps.
In order to prevent the CPU from being overwhelmed by too many trapped
packets, it is desirable to bind a packet trap policer to these groups.
For example, to limit all the packets that encountered an exception
during routing to 10Kpps.
Allow device drivers to bind default packet trap policers to packet trap
groups when the latter are registered with devlink.
The next patch will enable user space to change this default binding.

Devices capable of offloading the kernel's datapath and perform
functions such as bridging and routing must also be able to send (trap)
specific packets to the kernel (i.e., the CPU) for processing.
For example, a device acting as a multicast-aware bridge must be able to
trap IGMP membership reports to the kernel for processing by the bridge
module.
In most cases, the underlying device is capable of handling packet rates
that are several orders of magnitude higher compared to those that can
be handled by the CPU.
Therefore, in order to prevent the underlying device from overwhelming
the CPU, devices usually include packet trap policers that are able to
police the trapped packets to rates that can be handled by the CPU.
This patch allows capable device drivers to register their supported
packet trap policers with devlink. User space can then tune the
parameters of these policer (currently, rate and burst size) and read
from the device the number of packets that were dropped by the policer,
if supported.
Subsequent patches in the series will allow device drivers to create
default binding between these policers and packet trap groups and allow
user space to change the binding.
v2:
* Add 'strict_start_type' in devlink policy
* Have device drivers provide max/min rate/burst size for each policer.
Use them to check validity of user provided parameters
