An IPA endpoint has a sequencer that must be configured based on how the endpoint is to be used. Currently the IPA code programs the sequencer type by splitting a value into four 4-bit nibbles. Doing that doesn't really add much value, and regardless, a better way of splitting the sequencer type is into two halves--the lower byte describing how normal packet processing is handled, and the next byte describing information about processing replicas. So split the sequencer type into two sub-parts: the sequencer type and the replication sequencer type. Define the values supported for the "main" sequencer type, and define the values supported for the replication part separately. In addition, the sequencer type names are quite verbose, encoding what the type includes, but also what it *excludes*. Rename the sequencer types in a way that mainly describes the number of passes that a packet takes through the IPA processing pipeline, and how many of those passes end by supplying the processed packet to the microprocessor. The result expands the supported types beyond what is required for now, but simplifies the way these are defined. Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <elder@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
