[NET]: ethtool_perm_addr only has one implementation

2007-07-31T21:00:29+00:00

All drivers implement ethtool get_perm_addr the same way -- by calling
the generic function.  So we can inline the generic function into the
caller and avoid going through the drivers.

[NET]: ethtool ops are the only way

2007-07-31T21:00:02+00:00

During the transition to the ethtool_ops way of doing things, we supported
calling the device's ->do_ioctl method to allow unconverted drivers to
continue working.  Those days are long behind us, all in-tree drivers
use the ethtool_ops way, and so we no longer need to support this.

The bonding driver is the biggest beneficiary of this; it no longer
needs to call ioctl() as a fallback if ethtool_ops aren't supported.

Also put a proper copyright statement on ethtool.c.

[PATCH] ethtool: allow const ethtool_ops

2006-09-13T17:30:47+00:00

The ethtool_ops structure is immutable, it expected to be setup
by the driver and is never changed. This patch allows drivers to
declare there ethtool_ops structure read-only.
