[FORCEDETH]: Fix reversing the MAC address on suspend.

2008-01-09T07:30:20+00:00

For cards that initially have the MAC address stored in reverse order,
the forcedeth driver uses a flag to signal whether the address was
already corrected, so that it is not reversed again on a subsequent
probe.

Unfortunately this flag, which is stored in a register of the card,
seems to get lost during suspend, resulting in the MAC address being
reversed again. To fix that, the MAC address needs to be written back
in reversed order before we suspend and the flag needs to be reset.

The flag is still required because at least kexec will never write
back the reversed address and thus needs to know what state the card
is in.

forcedeth boot delay fix

2007-11-24T01:59:59+00:00

Fix a long boot delay in the forcedeth driver.  During initialization, the
timeout for the handshake between mgmt unit and driver can be very long.
The patch reduces the timeout by eliminating a extra loop around the
timeout logic.

forcedeth msi bugfix

2007-10-18T00:17:34+00:00

pci_enable_msi() replaces the INTx irq number in pci_dev->irq with the
new MSI irq number.
The forcedeth driver did not update the copy in netdevice->irq and
parts of the driver used the stale copy.
See bugzilla.kernel.org, bug 9047.

The patch
- updates netdevice->irq
- replaces all accesses to netdevice->irq with pci_dev->irq.

The patch is against 2.6.23.1. IMHO suitable for both 2.6.23 and 2.6.24

forcedeth: fix rx-work condition in nv_rx_process_optimized() too

2007-10-18T00:11:28+00:00

The merge of my previous fix to forcedeth.c,
bcb5febb248f7cc1e4a39ff61507f6343ba1c594, lost an important hunk.

We need to fix nv_rx_process_optimized() too, as it contains duplicate logic.

[netdrvr] forcedeth: remove in-driver copy of net_device_stats

2007-10-17T00:56:09+00:00

A copy of struct net_device_stats now lives in struct net_device,
making in-driver copies a waste of memory.

[netdrvr] forcedeth: improved probe info; dev_printk() cleanups

2007-10-17T00:50:10+00:00

main change:
* greatly improve per-NIC probe diagnostic output.  Similar to other
  net drivers, print out MAC address, PHY info, and various hardware and
  software flags that may be relevant.

other changes:
* similar to other net drivers, only print the initial version message
  when we have found at least one board.

* don't bother to print error message when pci_enable_device() fails,
  it will do so for us.

* use dev_printk() rather than printk() in nv_probe().  This gives
  use a standardized output similar to the rest of the kernel, and
  eliminates the need to manually print out PCI bus id.

* use DRV_NAME constant where appropriate

* clean struct pci_driver indentation
