Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ether: Add ETH_P_AVTP macro
Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2019 14:44:48 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191218224448.8066-2-andre.guedes@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191218224448.8066-1-andre.guedes@intel.com>

This patch adds the ETH_P_AVTP macro which defines the Audio/Video
Transport Protocol (AVTP) ethertype assigned to 0x22F0, according to:

http://standards-oui.ieee.org/ethertype/eth.txt

AVTP is the transport protocol utilized in Audio/Video Bridging (AVB),
and it is defined by IEEE 1722 standard.

Note that we have ETH_P_TSN macro defined with the number assigned to
AVTP. However, there is no "TSN" ethertype. TSN is not a protocol, but a
set of features to deliver networking determinism, so ETH_P_TSN can be a
bit misleading. For compatibility reasons we should keep it around.
This patch re-defines it using the ETH_P_AVTP macro to make it explicit.
