Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us.

It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations
disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a
bit.

Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar
number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling
the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also
*seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications.

We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that
we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run
reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates
some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only
do so much.

The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe
errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us
ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to
tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to
letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork,
automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and
maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from
people we trust...

Core & protocols:

- A few steps lowering rtnl_lock dependence:
- per-netns netdev unregistration for select SW drivers (e.g.
veth, ipvlan, tunnels)
- rtnl_lock-less FIB rule changes (RTM_NEWRULE and RTM_DELRULE)

====================
pds_core: Add PLDM firmware update and host backed memory support

This series adds PLDM-based firmware update support to the pds_core
driver. PLDM (Platform Level Data Model) is a DMTF standard for firmware
management that provides a vendor-neutral interface for firmware updates.

The implementation uses the kernel's pldmfw library for package parsing
and component matching. Users can update entire firmware packages or
individual components via devlink flash. Component information is
displayed via devlink info, showing firmware versions and update status
for each component.

The series also adds host backed memory support, allowing firmware to
request memory pages from the host for its operations.

pds_core: add PLDM firmware update support via devlink flash

Implement PLDM FW Update in the pds_core driver using the upstream
pldmfw API. This allows updating an entire PLDM FW package at once
or updating specific firmware components by name.

Flash the entire image:
devlink dev flash pci/0000:b5:00.0 file firmware.pldmfw

Flash a specific component from the PLDM FW package:
devlink dev flash pci/0000:b5:00.0 \
file firmware.pldmfw component fw.cpld

Per-component update uses driver-defined component names (fw, fw.cpld,
etc.). Not all components support per-component update - devlink will
reject the request if the specified component cannot be updated.

Pull networking deletions from Jakub Kicinski:
"Delete some obsolete networking code

Old code like amateur radio and NFC have long been a burden to core
networking developers. syzbot loves to find bugs in BKL-era code, and
noobs try to fix them.

If we want to have a fighting chance of surviving the LLM-pocalypse
this code needs to find a dedicated owner or get deleted. We've talked
about these deletions multiple times in the past and every time
someone wanted the code to stay. It is never very clear to me how many
of those people actually use the code vs are just nostalgic to see it
go. Amateur radio did have occasional users (or so I think) but most
users switched to user space implementations since its all super slow
stuff. Nobody stepped up to maintain the kernel code.

We were lucky enough to find someone who wants to help with NFC so
we're giving that a chance. Let's try to put the rest of this code
behind us"

Andrew Lunn says:

====================
Remove a number of ISA and PCMCIA Ethernet drivers

These old drivers have not been much of a Maintenance burden until
recently. Now there are more newbies using AI and fuzzers finding
issues, resulting in more work for Maintainers. Fixing these old
drivers make little sense, if it is not clear they have users.

These mostly ISA and PCMCIA Ethernet devices, mostly from the last
century, a couple from 2001 or 2002. It seems unlikely they are still
used. However, remove them one patch at a time so they can be brought
back if somebody still has the hardware, runs modern kernels and wants
to take up the roll of driver Maintainer.
