Pull kconfig updates from Michal Marek:

  this hasn't happened.  So I'm sending a few kconfig patches that I

   - Fix for missing va_end in kconfig
   - merge_config.sh displays used if given too few arguments
   - s/boolean/bool/ in Kconfig files for consistency, with the plan to
     only support bool in the future"

* 'kconfig' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) Missing netlink attribute validation in nft_lookup, from Patrick
    McHardy.

 2) Restrict ipv6 partial checksum handling to UDP, since that's the
    only case it works for.  From Vlad Yasevich.

 3) Clear out silly device table sentinal macros used by SSB and BCMA
    drivers.  From Joe Perches.

 4) Make sure the remote checksum code never creates a situation where
    the remote checksum is applied yet the tunneling metadata describing
    the remote checksum transformation is still present.  Otherwise an
    external entity might see this and apply the checksum again.  From
    Tom Herbert.

 5) Use msecs_to_jiffies() where applicable, from Nicholas Mc Guire.

 6) Don't explicitly initialize timer struct fields, use setup_timer()
    and mod_timer() instead.  From Vaishali Thakkar.

 7) Don't invoke tg3_halt() without the tp-&gt;lock held, from Jun'ichi
    Nomura.

 8) Missing __percpu annotation in ipvlan driver, from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Don't potentially perform skb_get() on shared skbs, also from Eric
    Dumazet.

10) Fix COW'ing of metrics for non-DST_HOST routes in ipv6, from Martin
    KaFai Lau.

11) Fix merge resolution error between the iov_iter changes in vhost and
    some bug fixes that occurred at the same time.  From Jason Wang.

12) If rtnl_configure_link() fails we have to perform a call to
    -&gt;dellink() before unregistering the device.  From WANG Cong.

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (39 commits)
  net: dsa: Set valid phy interface type

The patch "module: fix types of device tables aliases" newly requires that
invocations of

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(type, name);

come *after* the definition of `name'.  That is reasonable, but some
drivers weren't doing this.  Fix them.

tg3_init_one() calls tg3_halt() without tp-&gt;lock despite its assumption
and causes deadlock.
If lockdep is enabled, a warning like this shows up before the stall:

On Northstar (Broadcom's ARM architecture) we need to manually enable
all cores. Code for that is already in place, but the condition for it
was wrong.

On Northstar (Broadcom's ARM architecture) we need to manually enable
all cores. Code for that is already in place, but the condition for it
was wrong.

Driver keeps adding multicast addresses without deleting removed MACs and
worrying about adapters filter limit. This results into actual count of programmed
multicast addresses get accumulated over the time and overruns the adapter's
filter limit without putting device in ACCEPT_ALL_MULTI mode. This causes
newly added multicast traffic to fail after the sequence of addition - deletion
in certain pattern.

This issue is seen only when netdev's mcast list count is less than adapters
mcast filter limit.

e.g. If adapters multicast filter limit is 38 per function
     then following sequence would result in multicast traffic failure for
     newly added MACs.
     - add less than 38 multicast MACs
     - remove previously added multicast MACs
     - add new multicast MACs (less than 38)
