+
+ The "NDP to end" quirk makes the driver place the NDP

+ are known to be more restrictive. Write 'Y' to this
+ attribute for temporary testing of a suspect device
+ failing to work with the default driver settings.
+
+ A device entry should be added to the driver if this

+Description:
+ Boolean. Default: 'N'
+
+ Set this to 'Y' to change the network device link
+ framing from '802.3' to 'raw-ip'.
+
+ The netdev will change to reflect the link framing
+ mode. The netdev is an ordinary ethernet device in
+ '802.3' mode, and the driver expects to exchange
+ frames with an ethernet header over the USB link. The
+ netdev is a headerless p-t-p device in 'raw-ip' mode,
+ and the driver expects to echange IPv4 or IPv6 packets
+ without any L2 header over the USB link.
+
+ Userspace is in full control of firmware configuration
+ through the delegation of the QMI protocol. Userspace
+ is responsible for coordination of driver and firmware
+ link framing mode, changing this setting to 'Y' if the
+ firmware is configured for 'raw-ip' mode.

IGMP Snooping
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-XXX: complete this section

+In order to support IGMP snooping, the port netdevs should trap to the bridge
+driver all IGMP join and leave messages.
+The bridge multicast module will notify port netdevs on every multicast group
+changed whether it is static configured or dynamically joined/leave.
+The hardware implementation should be forwarding all registered multicast
+traffic groups only to the configured ports.
