net/ncsi: Fix netlink major/minor version numbers
The netlink interface for major and minor version numbers doesn't actually return the major and minor version numbers. It reports a u32 that contains the (major, minor, update, alpha1) components as the major version number, and then alpha2 as the minor version number. For whatever reason, the u32 byte order was reversed (ntohl): maybe it was assumed that the encoded value was a single big-endian u32, and alpha2 was the minor version. The correct way to get the supported NC-SI version from the network controller is to parse the Get Version ID response as described in 8.4.44 of the NC-SI spec[1]. Get Version ID Response Packet Format Bits +--------+--------+--------+--------+ Bytes | 31..24 | 23..16 | 15..8 | 7..0 | +-------+--------+--------+--------+--------+ | 0..15 | NC-SI Header | +-------+--------+--------+--------+--------+ | 16..19| Response code | Reason code | +-------+--------+--------+--------+--------+ |20..23 | Major | Minor | Update | Alpha1 | +-------+--------+--------+--------+--------+ |24..27 | reserved | Alpha2 | +-------+--------+--------+--------+--------+ | .... other stuff .... | The major, minor, and update fields are all binary-coded decimal (BCD) encoded [2]. The spec provides examples below the Get Version ID response format in section 8.4.44.1, but for practical purposes, this is an example from a live network card: root@bmc:~# ncsi-util 0x15 NC-SI Command Response: cmd: GET_VERSION_ID(0x15) Response: COMMAND_COMPLETED(0x0000) Reason: NO_ERROR(0x0000) Payload length = 40 20: 0xf1 0xf1 0xf0 0x00 <<<<<<<<< (major, minor, update, alpha1) 24: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 <<<<<<<<< (_, _, _, alpha2) 28: 0x6d 0x6c 0x78 0x30 32: 0x2e 0x31 0x00 0x00 36: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 40: 0x16 0x1d 0x07 0xd2 44: 0x10 0x1d 0x15 0xb3 48: 0x00 0x17 0x15 0xb3 52: 0x00 0x00 0x81 0x19 This should be parsed as "1.1.0". "f" in the upper-nibble means to ignore it, contributing zero. If both nibbles are "f", I think the whole field is supposed to be ignored. Major and minor are "required", meaning they're not supposed to be "ff", but the update field is "optional" so I think it can be ff. I think the simplest thing to do is just set the major and minor to zero instead of juggling some conditional logic or something. bcd2bin() from "include/linux/bcd.h" seems to assume both nibbles are 0-9, so I've provided a custom BCD decoding function. Alpha1 and alpha2 are ISO/IEC 8859-1 encoded, which just means ASCII characters as far as I can tell, although the full encoding table for non-alphabetic characters is slightly different (I think). I imagine the alpha fields are just supposed to be alphabetic characters, but I haven't seen any network cards actually report a non-zero value for either. If people wrote software against this netlink behavior, and were parsing the major and minor versions themselves from the u32, then this would definitely break their code.
