amd: Move AMD (Lance) chipset drivers

2011-08-11T02:54:11+00:00

Moves the drivers for the AMD chipsets into drivers/net/ethernet/amd/
and the necessary Kconfig and Makfile changes.

The au1000 (Alchemy) driver was also moved into the same directory
even though it is not a "Lance" driver.

drivers/net: Omit check for multicast bit in netdev_for_each_mc_addr

2011-07-08T16:03:20+00:00

There is no need to check for the address being a multicast address in
the netdev_for_each_mc_addr loop, so remove it. This patch covers all
remaining network drivers still containing such a check.

ethtool: Call ethtool's get/set_settings callbacks with cleaned data

2011-04-29T21:01:30+00:00

This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's
get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it
is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if
the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't
get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of
setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET).

This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it
sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to
drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings()
does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function
also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline.

All drivers visible to make allyesconfig under x86_64 have been
updated.

ethtool: allow custom interval for physical identification

2011-04-15T04:15:49+00:00

When physical identification of an adapter is done by toggling the
mechanism on and off through software utilizing the set_phys_id operation,
it is done with a fixed duration for both on and off states.  Some drivers
may want to set a custom duration for the on/off intervals.  This patch
changes the API so the return code from the driver's entry point when it
is called with ETHTOOL_ID_ACTIVE can specify the frequency at which to
cycle the on/off states, and updates the drivers that have already been
converted to use the new set_phys_id and use the synchronous method for
identifying an adapter.

The physical identification frequency set in the updated drivers is based
on how it was done prior to the introduction of set_phys_id.

Compile tested only.  Also fixes a compiler warning in sfc.

v2: drivers do not return -EINVAL for ETHOOL_ID_ACTIVE
v3: fold patchset into single patch and cleanup per Ben's feedback

drivers/net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s

2010-05-14T07:19:28+00:00

This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary
return; statements that precede the last closing brace of
void functions.

It does not remove the returns that are immediately
preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.

It also does not remove null void functions with return.

Done via:
$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \
  xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }'

with some cleanups by hand.

Compile tested x86 allmodconfig only.

net: trans_start cleanups

2010-05-10T12:01:31+00:00

Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it
in drivers themselves, if possible. Drivers can avoid one cache miss
(on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit() handler.

Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers
