To test a checkpatch spelling patch, I ran codespell against
drivers/net/ethernet/.

$ git ls-files drivers/net/ethernet/ | \
  while read file ; do \
    codespell -w $file; \
  done

I removed a false positive in e1000_hw.h

Return a negative error code on failure.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@@
identifier ret; expression e1,e2;
@@
(
if (\(ret &lt; 0\|ret != 0\))

There is no need to call ether_setup after alloc_ethdev since it was
already called there.

Follow commits c706471b2601 ("net: axienet: remove unnecessary
ether_setup after alloc_etherdev") and 3c87dcbfb36c ("net: ll_temac:
Remove unnecessary ether_setup after alloc_etherdev") and fix the
pattern in all remaining ethernet drivers.

<title>net: sun4i-emac: fix memory leak on bad packet</title>

<content type='text'>
Upon reception of a new frame, the emac driver checks for a number
of error conditions, and flag the packet as "bad" if any of these
are present. It then allocates a skb unconditionally, but only uses
it if the packet is "good". On the error path, the skb is just forgotten,
and the system leaks memory.

The piece of junk I have on my desk seems to encounter such error
frequently enough so that the box goes OOM after a couple of days,
which makes me grumpy.

Fix this by moving the allocation on the "good_packet" path (and
convert it to netdev_alloc_skb while we're at it).

Tested on a random Allwinner A20 board.

If the mdio probe function fails in emac_open, the interrupt we just requested
isn't freed. If emac_open is called again, for example because we try to set up
the interface again, the kernel will oops because the interrupt wasn't properly
released.

<title>net: sun4i-emac: add promiscuous support</title>

The sun4i-emac driver is rather primitive, and doesn't support
promiscuous mode. This makes usage such as bridging impossible,
which is a shame on virtualization capable HW such as the
Allwinner A20.

The fix is fairly simple: move the RX setup code to the ndo_set_rx_mode
vector, and add the required HW configuration when IFF_PROMISC is passed
by the core code.

This has been tested on a generic A20 box running a few virtual
machines hanging off a bridge with the EMAC chip as the link to the
outside world.

Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_consume_skb_any in emacs_start_xmit
which can be called in hard irq and other contexts.

emac_start_xmit always transmits the packet making dev_consume_skb
the appropriate function to call.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include &lt;linux/init.h&gt;.   Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

This covers everything under drivers/net except for wireless, which
has been submitted separately.

The sun4i-emac driver uses devm_request_irq at .ndo_open time, but relies on
the managed device mechanism to actually free it. This causes an issue whenever
someone wants to restart the interface, the interrupt still being held, and not
yet released.

Fall back to using the regular request_irq at .ndo_open time, and introduce a
free_irq during .ndo_stop.
