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

2015-06-23T13:50:35Z

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. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ptp: blackfin: use helpers for converting ns to timespec.

2015-03-31T21:19:19Z

This patch changes the driver to use ns_to_timespec64() and timespec64_to_ns() instead of open coding the same logic. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ptp: blackfin: convert to the 64 bit get/set time methods.

2015-03-31T16:01:16Z

The device uses 64 bit nanoseconds register, and so with this patch the driver is ready for the year 2038. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ethernet: adi: drop owner assignment from platform_drivers

2014-10-20T14:21:03Z

A platform_driver does not need to set an owner, it will be populated by the driver core. Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang

net: ethernet: Remove superfluous ether_setup after alloc_etherdev

2014-10-03T22:31:40Z

There is no need to call ether_setup after alloc_ethdev since it was already called there. Follow commits c706471b2601 ("net: axienet: remove unnecessary ether_setup after alloc_etherdev") and 3c87dcbfb36c ("net: ll_temac: Remove unnecessary ether_setup after alloc_etherdev") and fix the pattern in all remaining ethernet drivers.

bfin_mac: convert bfin Ethernet driver to NAPI framework

2014-07-25T06:35:42Z

Ethernet RX DMA buffers are polled in NAPI work queue other than received directly in DMA RX interrupt handler. Signed-off-by: Sonic Zhang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bfin_mac: remove empty MDIO bus reset function

2014-03-28T05:38:02Z

bfin_mdiobus_reset() does nothing useful and is optional for the MDIO bus code, so let's just remove it. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bfin_mac: Call dev_consume_skb_any instead of dev_kfree_skb.

2014-03-24T22:25:30Z

Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_consume_skb_any in _tx_reclaim_skb that can be called in hard irq and other contexts. dev_consume_skb is used as _tx_reclaim_skb is called after a packet has been successfully transmitted. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

ptp: drivers: set the number of programmable pins.

2014-03-21T18:21:14Z

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. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Acked-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: bfin_mac: do not reset PHY after phy_start()

2013-12-10T01:38:59Z

The PHY is already reset during driver probing, and this manual reset after calling phy_start() will wipe out board-specific PHY fixups and driver specific configuration initialization. Remove that explicit PHY reset. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
