Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev-&gt;dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.

The driver was merged in 1999 and has only ever seen treewide cleanups
since then, with no indication whatsoever that anyone has actually
had access to hardware for testing the patches.

&gt;From the information in the link below, it appears that the hardware
is for some leased line system in Russia that has since been
discontinued, and useless without any remote end to connect to.

As the driver still feels like a Linux-2.2 era artifact today, it
appears that the best way forward is to just delete it.

In order to further reduce the scope of ndo_do_ioctl(), move
out the SIOCWANDEV handling into a new network device operation
function.

Adjust the prototype to only pass the if_settings sub-structure
in place of the ifreq, and remove the redundant 'cmd' argument
in the process.

The ndo_do_ioctl callback is never called with the COSAIO* commands,
so this is never used. Call the hdlc_ioctl function directly instead.

Any user space code that relied on this function working as intended
has never worked in a mainline kernel since before linux-1.0.

The wan drivers each support some custom SIOCDEVPRIVATE
ioctls, plus the common SIOCWANDEV command.

Split these so the ioctl callback only deals with SIOCWANDEV
and the rest is handled by ndo_siocdevprivate.

It might make sense to also split out SIOCWANDEV into a
separate callback in order to eventually remove ndo_do_ioctl
entirely.

The dma_pool_zalloc combines dma_pool_alloc/memset. Therefore, the
dma_pool_alloc/memset can be replaced with dma_pool_zalloc which is
