Merge branch 'stable/for-linus-4.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/ibft
Pull iscsi_ibft updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: "The pull has two features - both of them expand the SysFS entries: - 'prefix-len' - which is subnet_mask_prefix of the iBFT header. - 'acpi_header' dir with: 'iBFT', OEM-ID (whatever it extracts from the iBFT header) and OEM_TABLE_ID (also whatever it extracts from the iBFT header). This is to help NIC drivers to figure out during bootup how to deal with BIOS created iBFT tables (like by TianoCore UEFI implemenation)" * 'stable/for-linus-4.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/ibft: ibft: Expose iBFT acpi header via sysfs iscsi_ibft: Add prefix-len attr and display netmask

Description: The /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernetX directory will contain
files that expose the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table NIC data.
Usually this contains the IP address, MAC, and gateway of the NIC.

+Description: The /sys/firmware/ibft/acpi_header directory will contain files
+ that expose the SIGNATURE, OEM_ID, and OEM_TABLE_ID fields of the
+ acpi table header of the iBFT structure. This will allow for
+ identification of the creator of the table which is useful in
+ determining quirks associated with some adapters when used in
+ hardware vs software iscsi initiator mode.
