drivers: net: fujitsu: fmvj18x: Remove this driver

2026-04-23T22:57:10+00:00

The fmvj18x was written by Shingo Fujimoto in 2002. It is an PCMCIA
device, so unlikely to be used with modern kernels.

net: packetengines: remove obsolete yellowfin driver and vendor dir

2026-04-23T21:49:08+00:00

Similar to the hamachi driver, the yellowfin driver supports hardware
that is over two decades old and no longer in active use.

Since yellowfin was the last remaining driver in the packetengines
vendor directory, we can now safely remove the entire directory and
drop its associated references from the parent Kconfig and Makefile.

This eliminates dead code and reduces the overall maintenance burden
on the netdev subsystem.

eth: remove the driver for acenic / tigon1&2

2026-04-07T01:52:27+00:00

The entire git history for this driver looks like tree-wide
and automated cleanups. There's even more coming now with
AI, so let's try to delete it instead.

net: ethernet: neterion: s2io: remove unused driver

2026-01-29T04:08:07+00:00

The s2io driver supports Exar (formerly Neterion and S2io) PCI-X 10
Gigabit Ethernet cards. Hardware supporting PCI-X has not been
manufactured in years. On x86, it was quickly replaced by PCIe. While
it stuck around longer on POWER hardware, the last POWER hardware to
support it was POWER7, which is not supported by ppc64le Linux
distributions. The last supported mainstream ppc64 Linux distribution
was RHEL 7; while it is still supported under ELS, ELS is only
available for x86 and IBM Z. It is possible to use many PCI-X cards in
standard PCI slots (which are still available on new motherboards), but
it does not make sense to do so for 10 Gigabit Ethernet because the
maximum bandwidth of standard PCI is only 1067 Mbps. It is therefore
highly unlikely that this driver is still being used. Remove the
driver, and move the former maintainer to the CREDITS file (restoring
credit for the vxge driver, which was removed in commit f05643a0f60b
("eth: remove neterion/vxge").

net: ethernet: dnet: remove driver

2026-01-16T03:38:54+00:00

This legacy platform driver was used with some Qong board.
Support for this board was removed with
commit c93197b0041d ("ARM: imx: Remove i.MX31 board files")
in 2020. So remove this now orphaned driver.

net: spacemit: Add K1 Ethernet MAC

2025-09-16T10:43:49+00:00

The Ethernet MACs found on SpacemiT K1 appears to be a custom design
that only superficially resembles some other embedded MACs. SpacemiT
refers to them as "EMAC", so let's just call the driver "k1_emac".

Supports RGMII and RMII interfaces. Includes support for MAC hardware
statistics counters. PTP support is not implemented.

The airoha_eth driver has no codebase shared with mtk_eth_soc one.
Moreover, the upcoming features (flowtable hw offloading, PCS, ..) will
not reuse any code from MediaTek driver. Move the Airoha driver in a

net: ethernet: oa_tc6: implement register write operation

2024-09-12T03:53:42+00:00

Implement register write operation according to the control communication
specified in the OPEN Alliance 10BASE-T1x MACPHY Serial Interface
document. Control write commands are used by the SPI host to write
registers within the MAC-PHY. Each control write commands are composed of
a 32 bits control command header followed by register write data.

The MAC-PHY ignores the final 32 bits of data from the SPI host at the
end of the control write command. The write command and data is also
echoed from the MAC-PHY back to the SPI host to enable the SPI host to
identify which register write failed in the case of any bus errors.
Control write commands can write either a single register or multiple
consecutive registers. When multiple consecutive registers are written,
the address is automatically post-incremented by the MAC-PHY. Writing to
any unimplemented or undefined registers shall be ignored and yield no
effect.
