ethernet/tulip: DE4x5 needs VIRT_TO_BUS

2013-03-17T16:01:10+00:00

The automated ARM build tests have shown that the tulip de4x5 driver
uses the old-style virt_to_bus() interface on some architectures.

Alpha, Sparc and PowerPC did not hit this problem, because they
use a different code path, and most other architectures actually
do provide VIRT_TO_BUS.

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

2013-02-21T20:05:51+00:00

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"

drivers/net: delete Digital EtherWorks-3 support.

2013-01-22T15:39:55+00:00

This is another one that makes sense to target for obsolescence, since
it (a)appeared pre-1995, and (b)was rather rare, and (c)did not
really have any statistically significant active linux user base.

Removing this ISA 10Mbit driver support is unlikely to be even noticed
by the user base of 3.9+ linux kernels, especially when the documentation
clearly indicates the vintage with this text:

	 "...designed to  work with all kernels > 1.1.33"

drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

2013-01-11T19:38:08+00:00

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.

ethtool: fix drvinfo strings set in drivers

2013-01-07T05:06:31+00:00

Use strlcpy where possible to ensure the string is \0 terminated.
Use always sizeof(string) instead of 32, ETHTOOL_BUSINFO_LEN
and custom defines.
Use snprintf instead of sprint.
Remove unnecessary inits of ->fw_version
Remove unnecessary inits of drvinfo struct.

drivers/net: fix up function prototypes after __dev* removals

2012-12-07T19:22:22+00:00

The __dev* removal patches for the network drivers ended up messing up
the function prototypes for a bunch of drivers.  This patch fixes all of
them back up to be properly aligned.

Bonus is that this almost removes 100 lines of code, always a nice
surprise.

tulip: remove __dev* attributes

2012-12-03T19:16:52+00:00

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.

ewrk3: silence GCC warning

2012-11-28T16:35:07+00:00

Building ewrk3.o triggers this GCC warning:
    drivers/net/ethernet/dec/ewrk3.c: In function '__check_irq':
    drivers/net/ethernet/dec/ewrk3.c:1915:1: warning: return from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]

This can be trivially fixed by changing the 'irq' parameter from int to
byte (which is an alias for unsigned char for module parameters).

drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/dmfe.c: fix error return code

2012-10-07T18:37:04+00:00

The function dmfe_init_one() return 0 for success and negative value
for most of its internal tests failures. There are three exceptions
that are error cases going to err_out_*:. Fore this three cases the
function abort its success execution path, but returns non negative
value, making it dificult for a caller function to notice the error.

This patch fixes the error cases that do not return negative values.

This was found by Coccinelle, but the code change was made by hand.
This patch is not robot generated.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is
as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// 
(
if@p1 (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\))
 { ... return ret; }
|
ret@p1 = 0
)
... when != ret = e1
    when != &ret
*if(...)
{
  ... when != ret = e2
      when forall
 return ret;
}
//
