net: ethernet: drop owner assignment from platform_drivers

2014-10-20T14:21:02Z

A platform_driver does not need to set an owner, it will be populated by the driver core. Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang

net: ethernet: Remove superfluous ether_setup after alloc_etherdev

2014-10-03T22:31:40Z

There is no need to call ether_setup after alloc_ethdev since it was already called there. Follow commits c706471b2601 ("net: axienet: remove unnecessary ether_setup after alloc_etherdev") and 3c87dcbfb36c ("net: ll_temac: Remove unnecessary ether_setup after alloc_etherdev") and fix the pattern in all remaining ethernet drivers.

ethernet: Fix FSF address in file headers

2013-12-06T17:37:55Z

Several files refer to an old address for the Free Software Foundation in the file header comment. Resolve by replacing the address with the URL so that we do not have to keep updating the header comments anytime the address changes.

net: netx-eth: remove unnecessary casting

2013-09-04T04:27:27Z

Casting from 'void *' is unnecessary, because casting from 'void *' to any pointer type is automatic. Reported-by: Sergei Shtylyov Signed-off-by: Jingoo Han Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: netx-eth: use dev_get_platdata()

2013-08-30T21:43:36Z

Use the wrapper function for retrieving the platform data instead of accessing dev->platform_data directly. This is a cosmetic change to make the code simpler and enhance the readability. Signed-off-by: Jingoo Han Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ethernet: remove unnecessary platform_set_drvdata()

2013-05-28T05:34:51Z

The driver core clears the driver data to NULL after device_release or on probe failure, since commit 0998d0631001288a5974afc0b2a5f568bcdecb4d (device-core: Ensure drvdata = NULL when no driver is bound). Thus, it is not needed to manually clear the device driver data to NULL.

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.

drivers:net: Remove unnecessary OOM messages after netdev_alloc_skb

2013-03-09T21:09:19Z

Emitting netdev_alloc_skb and netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align OOM messages is unnecessary as there is already a dump_stack after allocation failures. Other trivial changes around these removals: Convert a few comparisons of pointer to 0 to !pointer. Change flow to remove unnecessary label. Remove now unused variable. Hoist assignment from if.

ARM: netx: move platform_data definitions

2012-09-14T09:17:36Z

Platform data for device drivers should be defined in include/linux/platform_data/*.h, not in the architecture and platform specific directories. This moves such data out of the netx include directories Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Acked-by: Mark Brown Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre Acked-by: Sascha Hauer Cc: "David S.

netdev: ethernet dev_alloc_skb to netdev_alloc_skb

2012-02-08T23:46:38Z

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
