Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Several conflicts, seemingly all over the place. I used Stephen Rothwell's sample resolutions for many of these, if not just to double check my own work, so definitely the credit largely goes to him. The NFP conflict consisted of a bug fix (moving operations past the rhashtable operation) while chaning the initial argument in the function call in the moved code. The net/dsa/master.c conflict had to do with a bug fix intermixing of making dsa_master_set_mtu() static with the fixing of the tagging attribute location. cls_flower had a conflict because the dup reject fix from Or overlapped with the addition of port range classifiction. __set_phy_supported()'s conflict was relatively easy to resolve because Andrew fixed it in both trees, so it was just a matter of taking the net-next copy. Or at least I think it was :-) Joe Stringer's fix to the handling of netns id 0 in bpf_sk_lookup() intermixed with changes on how the sdif and caller_net are calculated in these code paths in net-next. The remaining BPF conflicts were largely about the addition of the __bpf_md_ptr stuff in 'net' overlapping with adjustments and additions to the relevant data structure where the MD pointer macros are used.
