net: ethernet: marvell: skge: remove incorrect conflicting PCI ID

2026-03-04T12:21:17Z

[ Upstream commit d01103fdcb871fd83fd06ef5803d576507c6a801 ] The ID 1186:4302 is matched by both r8169 and skge. The same device ID should not be in more than one driver, because in that case, which driver is used is unpredictable. I downloaded the latest drivers for all hardware revisions of the D-Link DGE-530T from D-Link's website, and the only drivers which contain this ID are Realtek drivers. Therefore, remove this device ID from skge. In the kernel bug report which requested addition of this device ID, someone created a patch to add the ID to skge. Then, it was pointed out that this device is an "r8169 in disguise", and a patch was created to add it to r8169. Somehow, both of these patches got merged. See the link below.

net: drop the weight argument from netif_napi_add

2022-09-29T01:57:14Z

We tell driver developers to always pass NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT as the weight to netif_napi_add(). This may be confusing to newcomers, drop the weight argument, those who really need to tweak the weight can use netif_napi_add_weight().

net: ethernet: move from strlcpy with unused retval to strscpy

2022-08-31T21:11:26Z

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

eth: remove copies of the NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT define

2022-04-29T10:56:41Z

Defining local versions of NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT with the same values in the drivers just makes refactoring harder. Drop the special defines in a bunch of drivers where the removal is relatively simple so grouping into one patch does not impact reviewability.

ethernet: sky2/skge: use eth_hw_addr_set()

2021-10-19T11:41:47Z

Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look up. To maintain netdev->dev_addr in this tree we need to make all the writes to it got through appropriate helpers. Read the address into an array on the stack, then call eth_hw_addr_set().

dev_ioctl: split out ndo_eth_ioctl

2021-07-27T19:11:45Z

Most users of ndo_do_ioctl are ethernet drivers that implement the MII commands SIOCGMIIPHY/SIOCGMIIREG/SIOCSMIIREG, or hardware timestamping with SIOCSHWTSTAMP/SIOCGHWTSTAMP. Separate these from the few drivers that use ndo_do_ioctl to implement SIOCBOND, SIOCBR and SIOCWANDEV commands. This is a purely cosmetic change intended to help readers find their way through the implementation.
