[ Upstream commit e488921f44765e8ab6c48ca35e3f6b78df9819df ]

Commit d6cb3e41 "bnx2x: fix checksum validation" caused a performance
regression for IPv6. Rx checksum offload does not work. IPv6 packets
are passed to the stack with CHECKSUM_NONE.

The hardware obviously cannot perform IP checksum validation for IPv6,
because there is no checksum in the IPv6 header. This should not prevent
us from setting CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.

Tested on BCM57711.

commit 02eca3f5f5e458c3a5d7b772bc8042ee2a4ebedf upstream.

The Apple Thunderbolt ethernet device is already listed in the driver,
but not hooked up in the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().  This fixes that and
allows it to work properly.

In rare cases, bnx2x_free_tx_skbs() can unmap the wrong DMA address
when it gets to the last entry of the tx ring.  We were not using
the proper macro to skip the last entry when advancing the tx index.

<title>drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/cnic.c: remove invalid reference to list iterator variable</title>

If list_for_each_entry, etc complete a traversal of the list, the iterator
variable ends up pointing to an address at an offset from the list head,
and not a meaningful structure.  Thus this value should not be used after
the end of the iterator.  There does not seem to be a meaningful value to
provide to netdev_warn.  Replace with pr_warn, since pr_err is used
elsewhere.

This problem was found using Coccinelle (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/).

<title>net: dont use __netdev_alloc_skb for bounce buffer</title>

commit a1c7fff7e1 (net: netdev_alloc_skb() use build_skb()) broke b44 on
some 64bit machines.

It appears b44 and b43 use __netdev_alloc_skb() instead of alloc_skb()
for their bounce buffers.

There is no need to add an extra NET_SKB_PAD reservation for bounce
buffers :

- In TX path, NET_SKB_PAD is useless

- In RX path in b44, we force a copy of incoming frames if
  GFP_DMA allocations were needed.

When I2C is not responding it's usually due to a previous
unexpected reset during I2C operation. We release it by
powering down and up the SFP+ module.
