net: Use named initializer for zorro_device_id arrays

2026-05-29T01:07:11+00:00

Using named initializers is more explicit and thus easier to parse for a
human.

While touching these arrays, drop explicit zeros from the list terminator.

This change doesn't introduce changes to the compiled zorro_device_id
arrays.

net: Consistently define pci_device_ids using named initializers

2026-05-13T01:16:34+00:00

... and PCI device helpers.

The various struct pci_device_id arrays were initialized mostly by one
the PCI_DEVICE macros and then list expressions. The latter isn't easily
readable if you're not into PCI. Using named initializers is more
explicit and thus easier to parse.

Also use PCI_DEVICE* helper macros to assign .vendor, .device,
.subvendor and .subdevice where appropriate and skip explicit
assignments of 0 (which the compiler takes care of).

The secret plan is to make struct pci_device_id::driver_data an
anonymous union (similar to
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1776579304.git.u.kleine-koenig@baylibre.com/)
and that requires named initializers. But it's also a nice cleanup on
its own.

This change doesn't introduce changes to the compiled pci_device_id
arrays. Tested on x86 and arm64.

ne2k: fold drivers/net/Space.c into ne.c

2026-05-01T23:46:53+00:00

drivers/net/Space.c is the last remnant of the linux-2.4.x driver model
that required each subsystem and device driver init function to be called
from init/main.c explicitly, before the introduction of initcall levels.

In linux-7.0, this was only used for a handful of ISA network drivers,
with the ne2000 driver being the last one.

Fold the code into ne.c directly, with minimal changes to preserve
the existing command line parsing.

net: remove unnecessary module_init/exit functions

2026-02-03T01:25:23+00:00

Many network drivers have unnecessary empty module_init and module_exit
functions. Remove them (including some that just print a message). Note
that if a module_init function exists, a module_exit function must also
exist; otherwise, the module cannot be unloaded.

net: ethernet: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()

2024-10-04T23:39:56+00:00

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove()
return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for
platform drivers.

Convert all platform drivers below drivers/net/ethernet to use
.remove(), with the eventual goal to drop struct
platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have the
same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure
member name in the driver initializer.
