Changes between vendor releases

The vendor provides release_notes, Sometimes additional information comes to light when comparing the cleaned-up branches - that's where these review notes may help.

To generate the diff, use something like this:

git diff -D cleanup/v0.3.6.15 cleanup/v0.3.6.16.1

vendor-drop/v0.3.6.17.1

  • Fix compilation error under RHEL 8
  • Change default installation folder as required by RHEL 8
  • Fix kernel 4.20 compilation error (deprecated ethtool_ops.[gs]et_settings)

vendor-drop/v0.3.6.17

  • AQR105 PHY firmware blob updated from v2.b.e-798 to v2.c.7-880
  • Add QNAP's TN9710P SVID/SDID (uses MV88X3310 PHY)
  • Add LR-Link LREC6860BT SVID/SDID (uses MV88X3310 PHY)
  • Add LR-Link LREC6860AF SVID/SDID (uses TLK10232 PHY)
  • QNAP LED support to MV88X3310 PHY driver
  • Bump expected MV88E2010 and MV88X3310 firmware blob version from 0_3_3_0_9374 to 0_3_4_0_9445

vendor-drop/v0.3.6.16

  • AQR105 PHY firmware updated from XXX to 2.b.e2
  • Add SVID/SDID for IOI GE10-PCIE4XG202 OEM products. They're using Marvell MV88X3310 PHYs, so Linux support may be a challenge.

vendor-drop/v0.3.6.15

  • The Marvell PHY control that was removed in 0.3.6.14.3 has reappeared (without the required firmware/initialisation data blobs!) and the 'Marvell' name has been replaced with 'Pele' for what could only be trademark lawyer nonsense.
  • Added support for "Mustang-200 10GbE Ethernet Adapter"
  • More magical Mike fix copy pasta
  • Some timer cruft was removed

Plus vendor's release_notes:

  • New build method for Marvell PHYs. Please consult the Readme file
  • Improved startup procudure for "Phyless" CX4 mode

  • "TN9710Q 5GBase-T/NBASE-T Ethernet Adapter"
  • "Edimax 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Adapter"
