Linux kernel source tree
8f5ee3c477
In order to support certain device features, including enabling the PTP hardware clock, the ice driver needs to control some registers on the device PHY. These registers are accessed by sending sideband messages. For some hardware, these messages must be sent over the device admin queue, while other hardware has a dedicated control queue for the sideband messages. Add the neighbor device message structure for sending a message to the neighboring device. Where supported, initialize the sideband control queue and handle cleanup. Add a wrapper function for sending sideband control queue messages that read or write a neighboring device register. Because some devices send sideband messages over the AdminQ, also increase the length of the admin queue to allow more messages to be queued up. This is important because the sideband messages add additional pressure on the AQ usage. This support will be used in following patches to enable support for CONFIG_1588_PTP_CLOCK.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
