Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Various VTI tunnel (mark handling, PMTU) bug fixes from Alexander
    Duyck and Steffen Klassert.

 2) Revert ethtool PHY query change, it wasn't correct.  The PHY address
    selected by the driver running the PHY to MAC connection decides
    what PHY address GET ethtool operations return information from.

 3) Fix handling of sequence number bits for encryption IV generation in
    ESP driver, from Herbert Xu.

 4) UDP can return -EAGAIN when we hit a bad checksum on receive, even
    when there are other packets in the receive queue which is wrong.
    Just respect the error returned from the generic socket recv
    datagram helper.  From Eric Dumazet.

 5) Fix BNA driver firmware loading on big-endian systems, from Ivan
    Vecera.

 6) Fix regression in that we were inheriting the congestion control of
    the listening socket for new connections, the intended behavior
    always was to use the default in this case.  From Neal Cardwell.

 7) Fix NULL deref in brcmfmac driver, from Arend van Spriel.

 8) OTP parsing fix in iwlwifi from Liad Kaufman.
