timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

The latter is the preferred way to copy ethtool strings.

Avoids manually incrementing the pointer. Cleans up the code quite well.

<title>net: ethernet: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()</title>

<content type='text'>
After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove()
return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for
platform drivers.

Convert all platform drivers below drivers/net/ethernet to use
.remove(), with the eventual goal to drop struct
platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have the
same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure
member name in the driver initializer.

Simon reported that ndo_change_mtu() methods were never
updated to use WRITE_ONCE(dev-&gt;mtu, new_mtu) as hinted
in commit 501a90c94510 ("inet: protect against too small
mtu values.")

We read dev-&gt;mtu without holding RTNL in many places,
with READ_ONCE() annotations.

It is time to take care of ndo_change_mtu() methods
to use corresponding WRITE_ONCE()

<title>bcm63xx_enet: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0aba524728f0d893829f6909c40608390a1912c1</id>
<content type='text'>
strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

A suitable replacement is strscpy() [2] due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without
unnecessarily NUL-padding.

bcm_enet_get_drvinfo() already uses strscpy(), let's match it's
implementation:
|       static void bcm_enet_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *netdev,
|       				 struct ethtool_drvinfo *drvinfo)
|       {
|       	strscpy(drvinfo-&gt;driver, bcm_enet_driver_name, sizeof(drvinfo-&gt;driver));
|       	strscpy(drvinfo-&gt;bus_info, "bcm63xx", sizeof(drvinfo-&gt;bus_info));
|       }

Note that now bcm_enet_get_drvinfo() and bcm_enetsw_get_drvinfo() do the
exact same thing.

<title>net: ethernet: broadcom: Convert to platform remove callback returning void</title>

<content type='text'>
The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.
To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() is renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert these drivers from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

The platform_register_drivers() will set "THIS_MODULE" to driver.owner when
register a platform_driver driver, so it is redundant initialization to set
driver.owner in the statement. Remove it for clean code.

A remove callback just returning 0 is equivalent to no remove callback
at all. So drop the useless function.

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this
subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used.
