open coding it.

phy: Add API for {un}registering an mdio device to a bus.

2016-01-07T19:31:26+00:00

Rather than have drivers directly manipulate the mii_bus structure,
provide and API for registering and unregistering devices on an MDIO
bus, and performing lookups.

mdio: Move allocation of interrupts into core

2016-01-07T19:31:26+00:00

Have mdio_alloc() create the array of interrupt numbers, and
initialize it to POLLING. This is what most MDIO drivers want, so
allowing code to be removed from the drivers.

Add a phydev_name() function, to help with moving some structure members
from phy_device.

drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO

2015-06-23T13:50:35+00:00

This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it.  And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.

However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next.  We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.

No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

net: ethernet: faraday: drop owner assignment from platform_drivers

2014-10-20T14:21:07+00:00

A platform_driver does not need to set an owner, it will be populated by the
driver core.

net: get rid of SET_ETHTOOL_OPS

net: get rid of SET_ETHTOOL_OPS

Dave Miller mentioned he'd like to see SET_ETHTOOL_OPS gone.
This does that.

Mostly done via coccinelle script:
@@
struct ethtool_ops *ops;
struct net_device *dev;
@@
-       SET_ETHTOOL_OPS(dev, ops);
+       dev->ethtool_ops = ops;

Compile tested only, but I'd seriously wonder if this broke anything.

net: ftgmac100: remove empty MDIO bus reset function

2014-03-28T05:38:02+00:00

ftgmac100_mdiobus_reset() does nothing useful and is optional for the
MDIO bus code, so let's just remove it.

net: ftgmac100: use kfree_skb() where appropriate

2014-01-18T02:54:13+00:00

In order to get correct drop monitor notifications for dropped
packets, we should call kfree_skb() instead of dev_kfree_skb()

drivers/net: delete non-required instances of include

2014-01-16T19:53:26+00:00

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include .   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.
