drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO

2015-06-23T13:50:35+00:00

This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it.  And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.

However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next.  We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.

No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

2015-04-08T16:15:14+00:00

This change updates several spots where a wmb was being used to instead use
a dma_wmb to flush out writes before updating the control portion of the
descriptor.

ethernet: codespell comment spelling fixes

2015-03-09T02:54:22+00:00

To test a checkpatch spelling patch, I ran codespell against
drivers/net/ethernet/.

$ git ls-files drivers/net/ethernet/ | \
  while read file ; do \
    codespell -w $file; \
  done

I removed a false positive in e1000_hw.h

s2io: use snprintf() as a safety feature

2015-01-20T00:42:21+00:00

"sp->desc[i]" has 25 characters.  "dev->name" has 15 characters.  If we
used all 15 characters then the sprintf() would overflow.

I changed the "sprintf(sp->name, "%s Neterion %s"" to snprintf(), as
well, even though it can't overflow just to be consistent.

The same macros are used for rx as well. So rename it.
