ax88179_178a: fix bonding failure

2014-11-14T18:10:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 95ff88688781db2f64042e69bd499e518bbb36e5 ]

The following patch fixes a bug which causes the ax88179_178a driver to be
incapable of being added to a bond.

When I brought up the issue with the bonding maintainers, they indicated
that the real problem was with the NIC driver which must return zero for
success (of setting the MAC address). I see that several other NIC drivers
follow that pattern by either simply always returing zero, or by passing
through a negative (error) result while rewriting any positive return code
to zero. With that same philisophy applied to the ax88179_178a driver, it
allows it to work correctly with the bonding driver.

I believe this is suitable for queuing in -stable, as it's a small, simple,
and obvious fix that corrects a defect with no other known workaround.

This patch is against vanilla 3.17(.0).

r8152: remove clearing bp

2014-10-01T20:46:34+00:00

The xxx_clear_bp() is used to halt the firmware. It only necessary
for updating the new firmware. Besides, depend on the version of
the current firmware, it may have problem to halt the firmware
directly. Finally, halt the firmware would let the firmware code
useless, and the bugs which are fixed by the firmware would occur.

r8152: fix setting RTL8152_UNPLUG

2014-09-30T20:23:51+00:00

The flag of RTL8152_UNPLUG should only be set when the device is
unplugged, not each time the rtl8152_disconnect() is called.
Otherwise, the device wouldn't be stopped normally.

r8152: fix the carrier off when autoresuming

2014-09-26T20:13:17+00:00

netif_carrier_off would be called when autoresuming, even though
the cable is plugged. This causes some applications do relative
actions when detecting the carrier off. Keep the status of the
carrier, and let it be modified when the linking change occurs.

r8152: disable ALDPS

2014-09-22T18:54:19+00:00

If the hw is in ALDPS mode, the hw may have no response for accessing
the most registers. Therefore, the ALDPS should be disabled before
accessing the hw in rtl_ops.init(), rtl_ops.disable(), rtl_ops.up(),
and rtl_ops.down(). Regardless of rtl_ops.enable(), because the hw
wouldn't enter ALDPS mode when linking on. The hw would enter the
ALDPS mode after several seconds when link down occurs and the ALDPS
is enabled.

net: fix USB network driver config option.

2014-08-06T23:00:20+00:00

It must be tristate to avoid broken dependencies with kernel built-in
usb network drivers when usb support is module only.

When net config option is set, least surprize default should match usb.

Wireless RNDIS USB driver used to select USB_USBNET. USB_USBNET now
depends on USB_NET_DRIVERS so the latter should be selected as well.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2014-08-06T01:46:26+00:00

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/Makefile
	net/ipv6/sysctl_net_ipv6.c

Two ipv6_table_template[] additions overlap, so the index
of the ipv6_table[x] assignments needed to be adjusted.

In the drivers/net/Makefile case, we've gotten rid of the
garbage whereby we had to list every single USB networking
driver in the top-level Makefile, there is just one
"USB_NETWORKING" that guards everything.

net: reduce USB network driver config options.

2014-08-05T23:48:59+00:00

USB network drivers are already handled in drivers/net/usb/Kconfig.
Let's save the maintenance burden of dependencies in drivers/net/Makefile.

The newly introduced USB_NET_DRIVERS umbrella config option defaults
to 'y' so as to minimize the changes of behavior.
