[PATCHv2 net-next 0/8] RX NFC support for hash-based filters

[Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>]

1. Fix gianfar's validation of filter rule locations.  In the previous
   version of this series, this was a requirement for part 2, but that's
   no longer the case.

2. Extend ethtool RX NFC rules API to support hash-based filter hardware
   in which rule locations should be selected by the driver or firmware.

3. Change the sfc driver to implement this API instead of RX n-tuple.

4. Remove support for RX n-tuple, now that there are no in-tree
   implementations.

Ben.
