[PATCH net-next v7 2/5] net/lapb: support netdev events

2020-11-25 Thread Martin Schiller

This patch allows layer2 (LAPB) to react to netdev events itself and avoids the detour via layer3 (X.25). 1. Establish layer2 on NETDEV_UP events, if the carrier is already up. 2. Call lapb_disconnect_request() on NETDEV_GOING_DOWN events to signal the peer that the connection will go down.
