This patch fixes several section mismatch warnings in the
ibm_newemac driver similar to:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.devinit.text+0x3a04): Section mismatch in reference from the function emac_probe() to the function .devexit.text:tah_detach()
The function __devinit emac_probe() references
a function __devexit tah_detach().

This updates the copyright notices of the new EMAC driver to
avoid confusion as who is to be blamed for new bugs.

When using ZMII for MDIO only (such as 440GX with RGMII for data and ZMII for
MDIO), the ZMII code would fail to properly refcount, thus triggering a
BUG_ON().

Based on BenH's earlier work, this is a new version of the EMAC driver
for the built-in ethernet found on PowerPC 4xx embedded CPUs. The
same ASIC is also found in the Axon bridge chip. This new version is
designed to work in the arch/powerpc tree, using the device tree to
probe the device, rather than the old and ugly arch/ppc OCP layer.
This driver is designed to sit alongside the old driver (that lies in
drivers/net/ibm_emac and this one in drivers/net/ibm_newemac). The
old driver is left in place to support arch/ppc until arch/ppc itself
reaches its final demise (not too long now, with luck).
This driver still has a number of things that could do with cleaning
up, but I think they can be fixed up after merging. Specifically:
- Should be adjusted to properly use the dma mapping API.
Axon needs this.
- Probe logic needs reworking, in conjuction with the general
probing code for of_platform devices. The dependencies here between
EMAC, MAL, ZMII etc. make this complicated. At present, it usually
works, because we initialize and register the sub-drivers before the
EMAC driver itself, and (being in driver code) runs after the devices
themselves have been instantiated from the device tree.
