treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12Z

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree over and remove the historical wrapper inlines. Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

sfc: fix NULL dereferences in ef100_process_design_param()

2025-04-03T22:08:25Z

Since cited commit, ef100_probe_main() and hence also ef100_check_design_params() run before efx->net_dev is created; consequently, we cannot netif_set_tso_max_size() or _segs() at this point. Move those netif calls to ef100_probe_netdev(), and also replace netif_err within the design params code with pci_err.

sfc: support X4 devlink flash

2025-03-25T14:55:11Z

Unlike X2 and EF100, we do not attempt to parse the firmware file to find an image within it; we simply hand the entire file to the MC, which is responsible for understanding any container formats we might use and validating that the firmware file is applicable to this NIC.

sfc: rip out MDIO support

2025-03-25T14:55:10Z

Unlike Siena, no EF10 board ever had an external PHY, and consequently MDIO handling isn't even built into the firmware. Since Siena has been split out into its own driver, the MDIO code can be deleted from the sfc driver.

sfc: document devlink flash support

2025-02-12T01:12:17Z

Update the information in sfc's devlink documentation including support for firmware update with devlink flash. Also update the help text for CONFIG_SFC_MTD, as it is no longer strictly required for firmware updates.

sfc: extend NVRAM MCDI handlers

2025-02-12T01:12:17Z

Support variable write-alignment, and background updates. The latter allows other MCDI to continue while the device is processing an MC_CMD_NVRAM_UPDATE_FINISH, since this can take a long time owing to e.g. cryptographic signature verification. Expose these handlers in mcdi.h, and build them even when CONFIG_SFC_MTD=n, so they can be used for devlink flash in a subsequent patch.
