skb-&gt;dev is being unnecessarily set during ring init.  It is already being set
to the proper value when eth_type_trans is called on packet receive, and the
skb-&gt;dev is not referenced anywhere else in the code.

<title>ethernet: Remove casts to same type</title>

<content type='text'>
Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary
and confusing for a human reader.

For example, this cast:

        int y;
        int *p = (int *)&amp;y;

I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these
unnecessary casts.  I manually removed the conversions this
script produces of casts with __force, __iomem and __user.

@@
type T;
T *p;
@@

-       (T *)p
+       p

A function in atl1e_main.c was passed a const pointer
when it actually modified elements of the structure.

Change the argument to a non-const pointer.

A function in stmmac needed a __force to avoid a sparse
warning.  Added it.

<title>drivers/net: delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA</title>

<content type='text'>
The support for CONFIG_MCA is being removed, since the 20
year old hardware simply isn't capable of meeting today's
software demands on CPU and memory resources.

This commit removes any MCA specific net drivers, and removes
any MCA specific probe/support code from drivers that were
doing a dual ISA/MCA role.

Use the new bool function ether_addr_equal to add
some clarity and reduce the likelihood for misuse
of compare_ether_addr for sorting.

Device interrupts numbers were changed to unsigned int in 1997, the year
IRQ_MACHSPEC was killed as well.

Also kill a related cast while we're at it.
