Commit Message

shenjian (K) Sept. 18, 2022, 9:43 a.m. UTC
The function net_device_ops.ndo_fix_features() using
netdev_features_t as parameters, and returns netdev_features_t
directly. For the prototype of netdev_features_t will be extended
to be larger than 8 bytes, so change the prototype of the function,
change the prototype of input features to'netdev_features_t *',
and return the features pointer as output parameter. So changes
all the implement for this function of all the netdev drivers, and
relative functions.
