** Description changed: [Impact] Add initial support for Intel(R) E610 Series of network devices. The E610 is based on X550 but adds firmware managed link, enhanced security capabilities and support for updated server manageability. This patch series adds low level support for the following features and enables link management. [Fix] 4600cdf ixgbe: Enable link management in E610 device 34b4157 ixgbe: Clean up the E610 link management related code a0834bd ixgbe: Add ixgbe_x540 multiple header inclusion protection e5b132b ixgbe: Add support for EEPROM dump in E610 device d2483eb ixgbe: Add support for NVM handling in E610 device 23c0e5a ixgbe: Add link management support for E610 device 7c3aa0fc ixgbe: Add support for E610 device capabilities detection 46761fd ixgbe: Add support for E610 FW Admin Command Interface [Test Case] Charmed Openstack Jammy/Caracal deployment. It requires servers to be on 22.04 Jammy (HWE kernel 6.8). Some servers f.e. Dell PowerEdge uses Intel NIC E610 and if this nic is planned to be used for PXE boot and to access the internet this missing functionality will effectively disqualify those servers from the approved HW for Openstack since NIC will not be detected by the OS. [Where problems could occur] + The regression risk is low. There are no core kernel changes. Changes + are primarily to the ixgbe driver (drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/) + adding support for the Intel E610 device. The majority of the changes + are in newly added files (ixgbe_e610.c ixgbe_type_e610.h). There are + some minor refactoring to existing ixgbe code involving the x540 and + x550 nics but existing device behavior isn't changed it's just shared + with E610. + Deployments where older kernel is needed ( kernel 6.8) [Other Info] Noble https://code.launchpad.net/~mreed8855/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/noble/+ref/intel_e610_lp_2131265_2
