net: greth: constify of_device_id array

2015-03-17T19:00:22Z

of_device_id is always used as const. (See driver.of_match_table and open firmware functions) Signed-off-by: Fabian Frederick Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ethernet: aeroflex: 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

greth: moved TX ring cleaning to NAPI rx poll func

2014-09-06T04:57:09Z

This patch does not affect the 10/100 GRETH MAC. Before all GBit GRETH TX descriptor ring cleaning was done in start_xmit(), when descriptor list became full it activated TX interrupt to start the NAPI rx poll function to do TX ring cleaning. With this patch the TX descriptor ring is always cleaned from the NAPI rx poll function, triggered via TX or RX interrupt. Otherwise we could end up in TX frames being sent but not reported to the stack being sent. On the 10/100 GRETH this is not an issue since the SKB is copied&aligned into private buffers so that the SKB can be freed directly on start_xmit() Signed-off-by: Daniel Hellstrom Signed-off-by: David S.

net: greth: remove empty MDIO bus reset function

2014-03-28T05:38:01Z

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

drivers/net: delete non-required instances of include

2014-01-16T19:53:26Z

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include . 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. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: greth: use phy_read_status()

2013-12-10T01:38:58Z

In case the greth driver is bound to anything but the Generic PHY driver or the PHY has a special read_status callback implemented, unexpected things will happen. Make sure we that we use phy_read_status() which does the proper abstraction of calling the driver specific read_status() callback for a given PHY.

drivers:net: Convert dma_alloc_coherent(...__GFP_ZERO) to dma_zalloc_coherent

2013-08-30T01:55:23Z

__GFP_ZERO is an uncommon flag and perhaps is better not used. static inline dma_zalloc_coherent exists so convert the uses of dma_alloc_coherent with __GFP_ZERO to the more common kernel style with zalloc. Remove memset from the static inline dma_zalloc_coherent and add just one use of __GFP_ZERO instead. Trivially reduces the size of the existing uses of dma_zalloc_coherent. Realign arguments as appropriate. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Acked-by: Neil Horman Acked-by: Jesse Brandeburg Acked-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ethernet: use platform_{get,set}_drvdata()

2013-05-26T04:27:58Z

Use the wrapper functions for getting and setting the driver data using platform_device instead of using dev_{get,set}_drvdata() with &pdev->dev, so we can directly pass a struct platform_device. Also, unnecessary dev_set_drvdata() is removed, because the driver core clears the driver data to NULL after device_release or on probe failure. Signed-off-by: Jingoo Han Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers:net: dma_alloc_coherent: use __GFP_ZERO instead of memset(, 0)

2013-03-17T16:50:24Z

Reduce the number of calls required to alloc a zeroed block of memory. Trivially reduces overall object size. Other changes around these removals o Neaten call argument alignment o Remove an unnecessary OOM message after dma_alloc_coherent failure o Remove unnecessary gfp_t stack variable Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers:net: Remove dma_alloc_coherent OOM messages

2013-03-15T12:56:58Z

I believe these error messages are already logged on allocation failure by warn_alloc_failed and so get a dump_stack on OOM. Remove the unnecessary additional error logging. Around these deletions: o Alignment neatening. o Remove unnecessary casts of dma_alloc_coherent. o Hoist assigns from ifs. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
