Nothing lives outside the repo: the bench ixgbe driver source moves in tracked at kernel/ixgbe-sff/ (build artifacts gitignored, load-ixgbe repointed, module build verified from the new home — the reg_ops/ts_bench bench extras are finally versioned), the ice sff_i2c patch is vendored at docs/nics/e810/ice-sff-i2c.patch with its out-of-tree build recipe (TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH fixup, version-matched Makefile), the e810 NVM flash logistics land in the e810 README (exact package name, rollback -m B49691D578EC into the inactive bank, post-flash inventory failing until power cycle is the expected tell), and every ~/work/phydiag-work pointer becomes an inline statement; phydiag-work, ice-sff, e810nvm and the wiitekphy CLI (a duplicate of documented transport+protocol) are deleted

All three stashes distilled into docs and dropped: xdp.md carries the AF_XDP record (ixgbe's 3 KB single-buffer XDP cap excludes the locked jumbo mix; XSK need_wakeup TX as the spin-free flow control, zero-copy-or-die, the stray-RX fill-ring trap, BTF-resolved stamp kfunc, wire-weighted size schedule as an unadopted option); connectx-5 README gains the PCICONF/ICMD/MCIA gateway constants so a rebuild needs no mstflint re-mine; e810 keeps the read-side transport map (cage-cache, bus=port, bus-5 phantom, 16-bit-addr hazard, latency as wire-truth) and NVM rollback pointers; x710 the >=30 ms EEPROM write pacing; fibergaga the empirical vendor-space finds; fs the inert-I2C-surface map; state.md stash section now empty

Docs cleanup: stale-claim conflicts fixed (e810 stamps/probe.go, CX-5 candidate title, committed-path perf table now the X520 20G result with E810-era rows marked historical, ice-pair ring note), irdma/ice notes moved to e810, state.md halved (done-checklist, RX-steering and standing-goals duplication out; ECD suppression fact into modules/fs), changelog framing flattened to present tense

X520 returns as product NIC: smoothed-bucket rate plan (read-time buckets, backward excess-fill, rate as headline not verdict) dissolves the per-frame RX timestamp requirement; CX-5 retired with full record (MCIA via VSC/ICMD proven, fwctl write-block, card-global module index, ~150ms mailbox quantum unexplained, FS link deadlock); E810 below-AQ bit-bang idea recorded and retired; FS+Wiitek pair and length return as goals

BCM bridge tolerates MCIA offset-write-then-read framing, proven on hardware via bcm_mcia_emu.py; MCIA question narrows to firmware acceptance of 0x56 and offset/framing details

Dissolve resolved analyses into standalone device docs; open-questions.md keeps only the four live problems; discard NIC-timestamp length path (BCM ECD is proven) and Aquantia length trivia (30m part, oracle-only)

Resolve X520 open questions on hardware: ETQF raw-L2 steering and single-hold compound I2C proven; 82599 has no all-packet exact-timestamp path so it is disqualified as product NIC (diagnostics-only), counter route rejected for a cable tester
