1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-10-17
This series adds support for the new igc driver.
The igc driver is the new client driver supporting the Intel I225
Ethernet Controller, which supports 2.5GbE speeds. The reason for
creating a new client driver, instead of adding support for the new
device in e1000e, is that the silicon behaves more like devices
supported in igb driver. It also did not make sense to add a client
part, to the igb driver which supports only 1GbE server parts.
This initial set of patches is designed for basic support (i.e. link and
pass traffic). Follow-on patch series will add more advanced support
like VLAN, Wake-on-LAN, etc..
