The memory for private data is allocated using kzalloc/vzalloc in

Use is_zero_ether_addr() to check for the MAC address being all zeros instead of
open coding the check.

Also use ether_addr_copy() instead of a manual memcpy() to set the
netdev-&gt;dev_addr.

Furthermore, get rid of a redundant assignment of netdev-&gt;addr_len. This is
already set by ether_setup() which is called in tile_net_setup().

<title>tilepro: Call dev_consume_skb_any instead of kfree_skb.</title>

<content type='text'>
Replace kfree_skb with dev_consume_skb_any in tile_net_tx and
tile_net_tx_tso which can be called in hard irq and other contexts.

At the point where the skbs are freed a packet has been successfully
transmitted so dev_consume_skb_any is the appropriate variant to use.

This patch updates the many PTP Hardware Clock drivers with the
newly introduced field that advertises the number of programmable
pins. Some of these devices do have programmable pins, but the
implementation will have to wait for follow on patches.

Processing any incoming packets with a with a napi budget of 0
is incorrect driver behavior.

This matters as netpoll will shortly call drivers with a budget of 0
to avoid receive packet processing happening in hard irq context.

Replace the bh safe variant with the hard irq safe variant.

We need a hard irq safe variant to deal with netpoll transmitting
packets from hard irq context, and we need it in most if not all of
the places using the bh safe variant.

Except on 32bit uni-processor the code is exactly the same so don't
bother with a bh variant, just have a hard irq safe variant that
everyone can use.
