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.

<title>USB: Disable hub-initiated LPM for comms devices.</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=e1f12eb6ba6f1e74007eb01ed26fad7c5239d62b'/>
<id>e1f12eb6ba6f1e74007eb01ed26fad7c5239d62b</id>
<content type='text'>
Hub-initiated LPM is not good for USB communications devices.  Comms
devices should be able to tell when their link can go into a lower power
state, because they know when an incoming transmission is finished.
Ideally, these devices would slam their links into a lower power state,
using the device-initiated LPM, after finishing the last packet of their
data transfer.

If we enable the idle timeouts for the parent hubs to enable
hub-initiated LPM, we will get a lot of useless LPM packets on the bus
as the devices reject LPM transitions when they're in the middle of
receiving data.  Worse, some devices might blindly accept the
hub-initiated LPM and power down their radios while they're in the
middle of receiving a transmission.

The Intel Windows folks are disabling hub-initiated LPM for all USB
communications devices under a xHCI USB 3.0 host.  In order to keep
the Linux behavior as close as possible to Windows, we need to do the
same in Linux.

Set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag for for all USB communications
drivers.  I know there aren't currently any USB 3.0 devices that
implement these class specifications, but we should be ready if they do.

<title>Move Logitech Harmony 900 from cdc_ether to zaurus</title>

<content type='text'>
In the current kernel implementation, the Logitech Harmony 900 remote
control is matched to the cdc_ether driver through the generic
USB_CDC_SUBCLASS_MDLM entry.  However, this device appears to be of the
pseudo-MDLM (Belcarra) type, rather than the standard one.  This patch
blacklists the Harmony 900 from the cdc_ether driver and whitelists it for
the pseudo-MDLM driver in zaurus.

In 16adf5d07987d93675945f3cecf0e33706566005 I removed an over-broad
alias that caused zaurus.ko to bind to unrelated devices.
I had a report that at least one valid case no longer auto-loads because of this.
This patch adds an ID for that case.

<title>USB: convert drivers/net/* to use module_usb_driver()</title>

This converts the drivers in drivers/net/* to use the
module_usb_driver() macro which makes the code smaller and a bit
simpler.

Added bonus is that it removes some unneeded kernel log messages about
drivers loading and/or unloading.

This module and a bunch of dependancies are getting loaded on several
of laptops I have (probably picking up the mobile broadband device),
that have nothing to do with zaurus. Matching by class without
any vendor/device pair isn't the right thing to do here, as it
will prevent any other driver from correctly binding to it.
(Or in the absense of a driver, will just waste time &amp; memory by
 unnecessarily loading modules)

The documentation for the USB ethernet devices suggests that
only some devices are supposed to use usb0 as the network interface
name instead of eth0. The logic used there, and documented in
Kconfig for CDC is that eth0 will be used when the mac address
is a globally assigned one, but usb0 is used for the locally
managed range that is typically used on point-to-point links.

Unfortunately, this has caused a lot of pain on the smsc95xx
device that is used on the popular pandaboard without an
EEPROM to store the MAC address, which causes the driver to
call random_ether_address().

Obviously, there should be a proper MAC addressed assigned to
the device, and discussions are ongoing about how to solve
this, but this patch at least makes sure that the default
interface naming gets a little saner and matches what the
user can expect based on the documentation, including for
new devices.

The approach taken here is to flag whether a device might be a
point-to-point link with the new FLAG_POINTTOPOINT setting in
the usbnet driver_info. A driver can set both FLAG_POINTTOPOINT
and FLAG_ETHER if it is not sure (e.g. cdc_ether), or just one
of the two.  The usbnet framework only looks at the MAC address
for device naming if both flags are set, otherwise it trusts the
flag.

Only files where David Miller is the primary git-signer.
wireless, wimax, ixgbe, etc are not modified.

Compile tested x86 allyesconfig only
Not all files compiled (not x86 compatible)

Added a few &gt; 80 column lines, which I ignored.
Existing checkpatch complaints ignored.
