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

net: get rid of SET_ETHTOOL_OPS

2014-05-13T21:43:20Z

net: get rid of SET_ETHTOOL_OPS Dave Miller mentioned he'd like to see SET_ETHTOOL_OPS gone. This does that. Mostly done via coccinelle script: @@ struct ethtool_ops *ops; struct net_device *dev; @@ - SET_ETHTOOL_OPS(dev, ops); + dev->ethtool_ops = ops; Compile tested only, but I'd seriously wonder if this broke anything.

net: ethernet: enc28j60: use spi_get_drvdata() and spi_set_drvdata()

2013-04-07T20:48:19Z

Use the wrapper functions for getting and setting the driver data using spi_device instead of using dev_{get|set}_drvdata with &spi->dev, so we can directly pass a struct spi_device. Signed-off-by: Jingoo Han Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Merge tag 'driver-core-3.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core patches from Greg Kroah-Hartman: "Here is the big driver core merge for 3.9-rc1 There are two major series here, both of which touch lots of drivers all over the kernel, and will cause you some merge conflicts: - add a new function called devm_ioremap_resource() to properly be able to check return values. - remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL Other than those patches, there's not much here, some minor fixes and updates" Fix up trivial conflicts * tag 'driver-core-3.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (221 commits) base: memory: fix soft/hard_offline_page permissions drivercore: Fix ordering between deferred_probe and exiting initcalls backlight: fix class_find_device() arguments TTY: mark tty_get_device call with the proper const values driver-core: constify data for class_find_device() firmware: Ignore abort check when no user-helper is used firmware: Reduce ifdef CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER firmware: Make user-mode helper optional firmware: Refactoring for splitting user-mode helper code Driver core: treat unregistered bus_types as having no devices watchdog: Convert to devm_ioremap_resource() thermal: Convert to devm_ioremap_resource() spi: Convert to devm_ioremap_resource() power: Convert to devm_ioremap_resource() mtd: Convert to devm_ioremap_resource() mmc: Convert to devm_ioremap_resource() mfd: Convert to devm_ioremap_resource() media: Convert to devm_ioremap_resource() iommu: Convert to devm_ioremap_resource() drm: Convert to devm_ioremap_resource() ...

drivers/net/ethernet/microchip: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

2013-01-22T20:01:34Z

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs. Acked-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

net: remove unnecessary NET_ADDR_RANDOM "bitclean"

2013-01-04T06:37:36Z

NET_ADDR_SET is set in dev_set_mac_address() no need to alter dev->addr_assign_type value in drivers. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

enc28j60: remove __dev* attributes

2012-12-03T19:16:44Z

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As result the __dev* markings will be going away. Remove use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst, and __devexit. Signed-off-by: Bill Pemberton Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

net: use eth_hw_addr_random() and reset addr_assign_type

2012-02-15T20:34:17Z

Use eth_hw_addr_random() instead of calling random_ether_addr() to set addr_assign_type correctly to NET_ADDR_RANDOM. Reset the state to NET_ADDR_PERM as soon as the MAC get changed via .ndo_set_mac_address. v2: adapt to renamed eth_hw_addr_random() Signed-off-by: Danny Kukawka Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netdev: ethernet dev_alloc_skb to netdev_alloc_skb

2012-02-06T16:52:27Z

Replaced deprecating dev_alloc_skb with netdev_alloc_skb in drivers/net/ethernet - Removed extra skb->dev = dev after netdev_alloc_skb Signed-off-by: Pradeep A Dalvi Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers/net: Remove alloc_etherdev error messages

alloc_etherdev has a generic OOM/unable to alloc message. Remove the duplicative messages after alloc_etherdev calls. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
