    usb ethernet gadget: split out network core · 2b3d942c
    David Brownell authored
    Abstract the peripheral side Ethernet-over-USB link layer code from
    the all-in-one Ethernet gadget driver into a component that can be
    called by various functions, so the various flavors can be split
    apart and selectively reused.
    
    A notable difference from the approach taken with the serial link
    layer code (beyond talking to NET not TTY) is that because of the
    initialization requirements, this only supports one network link.
    (And one set of Ethernet link addresses.)
    
    That is, each configuration may have only one instance of a network
    function.  This doesn't change behavior; the current code has that
    same restriction.  If you want multiple logical links, that can
    easily be done using network layer tools.
