mainlining shenanigans
Currently, local_port field uses 8 bits, which means that maximum 256 ports can be used. As preparation for the next ASIC, which will support more than 256 ports, local_port field should be extended to 10 bits. It is not possible to use 10 consecutive bits in all registers, and therefore, the field is split into 2 fields: 1. local_port - the existing 8 bits, represent LSB of the extended field. 2. lp_msb - extra 2 bits, represent MSB of the extended field. To avoid complex programming when reading/writing local_port, add a dedicated macro which creates get and set functions which handle both parts of local_port.

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.
