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

ethernet: codespell comment spelling fixes

To test a checkpatch spelling patch, I ran codespell against drivers/net/ethernet/. $ git ls-files drivers/net/ethernet/ | \ while read file ; do \ codespell -w $file; \ done I removed a false positive in e1000_hw.h Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2015-02-05T22:33:28Z

Conflicts: drivers/net/vxlan.c drivers/vhost/net.c include/linux/if_vlan.h net/core/dev.c The net/core/dev.c conflict was the overlap of one commit marking an existing function static whilst another was adding a new function. In the include/linux/if_vlan.h case, the type used for a local variable was changed in 'net', whereas the function got rewritten to fix a stacked vlan bug in 'net-next'. In drivers/vhost/net.c, Al Viro's iov_iter conversions in 'net-next' overlapped with an endainness fix for VHOST 1.0 in 'net'. In drivers/net/vxlan.c, vxlan_find_vni() added a 'flags' parameter in 'net-next' whereas in 'net' there was a bug fix to pass in the correct network namespace pointer in calls to this function.

net: ep93xx_eth: Delete unnecessary checks before the function call "kfree"

2015-02-05T08:35:00Z

The kfree() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring Signed-off-by: H Hartley Sweeten Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: cs89x0: always build platform code if !HAS_IOPORT_MAP

2015-01-29T23:08:20Z

The cs89x0 driver can either be built as an ISA driver or a platform driver, the choice is controlled by the CS89x0_PLATFORM Kconfig symbol. Building the ISA driver on a system that does not have a way to map I/O ports fails with this error: drivers/built-in.o: In function `cs89x0_ioport_probe.constprop.1': :(.init.text+0x4794): undefined reference to `ioport_map' :(.init.text+0x4830): undefined reference to `ioport_unmap' This changes the Kconfig logic to take that option away and always force building the platform variant of this driver if CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT_MAP is not set. This is the only correct choice in this case, and it avoids the build error. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

cirrus: cs89x0: fix time comparison

2014-12-15T16:44:21Z

To be future-proof and for better readability the time comparisons are modified to use time_before, time_after, and time_after_eq instead of plain, error-prone math. Signed-off-by: Asaf Vertz Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Pull driver core update from Greg KH: "Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1. They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes, just removing a line in a structure. Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs changes.

cirrus: cs89x0: Use managed interfaces

2014-08-02T23:40:52Z

This patch introduces the use of managed interfaces like devm_ioremap_resource and does away with the functions to free the allocated memory in the probe and remove functions. Also, many labels are done away with. The field size in no longer needed and is hence removed from the struct net_local. Signed-off-by: Himangi Saraogi Acked-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: David S.
