All kcalloc() calls of the form "kcalloc(1,...)" are converted to the
equivalent kzalloc() calls, and a few kcalloc() calls with the incorrect
ordering of the first two arguments are fixed.

<title>Add "run_scheduled_work()" workqueue function</title>

This allows workqueue users to run just their own pending work, rather
than wait for the whole workqueue to finish running.  This solves the
deadlock with networking libphy that was due to other workqueue entries
possibly needing a lock that was held by the routine that wanted to
flush its own work.

It's not wonderful: if you absolutely need to synchronize with the work
function having been executed, any user strictly speaking should have
its own completion tracking logic, since when we run things explicitly
by hand, the generic workqueue layer can no longer help us synchronize.

Also, this is strictly only usable for work that has been scheduled
without any delayed timers.  You can not mix the new interface with
schedule_delayed_work().

But it's better than what we had currently.

<title>[PATCH] PHY: Add support for configuring the PHY connection interface</title>

<content type='text'>
Most PHYs connect to an ethernet controller over a GMII or MII
interface.  However, a growing number are connected over
different interfaces, such as RGMII or SGMII.

The ethernet driver will tell the PHY what type of connection it
is by setting it manually, or passing it in through phy_connect
(or phy_attach).

Changes include:
* Updates to documentation
* Updates to PHY Lib consumers
* Changes to PHY Lib to add interface support
* Some minor changes to whitespace in phy.h
* gianfar driver now detects interface and passes appropriate
  value to PHY Lib

* genphy_update_link is now exported
* Added a fix from ncase@xes-inc.com which changes forcing so it
  only updates the link.  Otherwise, it never tries the lower
  values, since it is always overwriting the speed/duplex values
  with the current ones, rather than the intended ones.
* Fixed a bug where bringing up a PHY with no link caused it to
  timeout, and enter forcing mode.  Once in forcing mode,
  plugging in the link didn't autonegotiate.  Now the AN state
  detects the lack of link, and enters the NO_LINK state.  AN
  only times out if the link is up and AN fails
* Cleaned up the PHY_AN case, reducing one level of indentation
  for the timeout code.

<id>3c3070d713d798f7f9e7ee3614e49b47655d14d8</id>
<content type='text'>
 This patch fixes a couple of problems discovered with interrupt handling
in the phylib core, namely:

1. The driver uses timer and workqueue calls, but does not include
   &lt;linux/timer.h&gt; nor &lt;linux/workqueue.h&gt;.

2. The driver uses schedule_work() for handling interrupts, but does not
   make sure any pending work scheduled thus has been completed before
   driver's structures get freed from memory.  This is especially
   important as interrupts may keep arriving if the line is shared with
   another PHY.

   The solution is to ignore phy_interrupt() calls if the reported device
   has already been halted and calling flush_scheduled_work() from
   phy_stop_interrupts() (but guarded with current_is_keventd() in case
   the function has been called through keventd from the MAC device's
   close call to avoid a deadlock on the netlink lock).
