Subject: [PATCH 0/8] net: introduce "include/linux/if_rmnet.h"

The main objective of this series was originally to define a single
public header file containing a few structure definitions that are
currently defined privately for the Qualcomm "rmnet" driver.  In
review, Arnd Bergmann said that before making them public, the
structures should avoid using C bit-fields in their definitions.

To facilitate implementing that suggestion I rearranged some other
code, including eliminating some accessor macros that I believe
reduce rather than improve the clarity of the code that uses them.

I also discovered a bug (concievably due to non-portable behavior)
in the way one of the structures is defined, so I fixed that.  And
finally I ensured all of the fields in these structures were defined
with proper annotation of their big endianness.

A form of the code in this series was present in this patch:

This series is available here, based on kernel v5.2-rc1:
