Commit 6833c043f9fc03696fde623914c4a0277df2a0bc introduced the phy
auto-powerdown capability. While the APD feature only works for 5761
and 5784 asic revisions, the (harmless portion of the) code was applied
to all 5705 and newer devices. However, the 5906 phy departs from the
usual design. This commit was interfering with the 5906's ability to
negotiate link against some switches. This patch corrects the problem.

with while (--worklimit >= 0); worklimit reaches -1 after the loop. In
3c589_cs.c this caused a warning not to be printed.
In 3c574_cs.c contrastingly, el3_rx() treats worklimit differently:
static int el3_rx(struct net_device *dev, int worklimit)
{
while (--worklimit >= 0) { ... }
return worklimit;
}
el3_rx() is only called by function el3_interrupt(): twice:

The following patch enables SMC911x support to work on the OMAP LDP
board. Although the SMC911x driver will eventually be obsoleted, the
smsc911x patches are rather invasive for the -rc kernels.
Rather than risk destablising smsc911x, this simpler patch is preferred
to allow the network interface to work.

Make usbnet_get_link() fall back to ethtool_op_get_link() instead of
defaulting to 1.
This makes usbnet_get_link return valid results without the need for a
driver specific check_connect or mii ops as long as the driver calls
netif_carrier_{on,off}() as appropriate. cdc_ether is an example of
such a driver.

The current implementation of carrier detect in veth is broken.

The Ericsson F3507g wireless broadband module provides a CDC Ethernet
compliant interface, but identifies it as a "Mobile Direct Line" CDC
subclass, thereby preventing the CDC Ethernet class driver from picking
it up. This patch adds the device id to cdc_ether.c as a workaround.
Ericsson has provided a "class" driver for this device:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-net/2008/10/28/3832094
But closer inspection of that driver reveals that it adds little more
than duplication of code from cdc_ether.c. See also

This is 2nd attempt to implement the initialization/reading of MAC address
from EEPROM. The first used PCI's VPD and there were some problems, some
devices are not able to read EEPROM content by VPD. The 2nd one uses direct
access to EEPROM through bit-banging interface and my testing results seem
to be much better.
I tested 5 systems each with different Realtek NICs and I didn't find any
problem. AFAIK Francois's NICs also works fine.
Original description:
This fixes the problem when MAC address is set by ifconfig or by
ip link commands and this address is stored in the device after
reboot. The power-off is needed to get right MAC address.
This is problem when Xen daemon is running because it renames the device
name from ethX to pethX and sets its MAC address to FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
After reboot the device is still using FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.

Disable the SSB core on device shutdown.
This has two advantages:
1) A clean device shutdown is always desired here, because we disable
the device's global crystal in the next statement.
2) This fixes a bug where the device will come up with the enable-bit
set on the next initialization (without a reboot inbetween).
This causes breakage on the second initialization due to code that
checks this bit (ssb_device_is_enabled() checks).

Unconditionally setup the IRQ routing on chip reset.
It's safe to call ssb_pcicore_dev_irqvecs_enable() unconditionally, because
it has internal checks for redundant calls.
This fixes problems where hardware will not come up properly
due to quirks in the enable-bit hardware.

The mesh and radiotap interfaces need to use the same private data as
the main wifi interface. If the main wifi interface uses netdev_priv(),
but the other interfaces ->ml_priv, there's no way to figure out where
the private data actually is in the WEXT handlers and netdevice
callbacks. So make everything use ->ml_priv.
Fixes botched netdev_priv() conversion introduced by "netdevice
libertas: Fix directly reference of netdev->priv", though admittedly
libertas' use of ->priv was somewhat "special".

When iwlan runs on IOMMU, IOMMU generates a lot of PTE write faults
because PTE write bit is not set on some of PTE's. This is because
iwlan driver calls DMA mapping with PCI_DMA_TODEVICE which is read only
in mapping PTE. But iwlan device actually writes to the mapped page to
update its contents. This issue is not exposed in swiotlb. But VT-d
hardware can capture this fault and stop the fault transaction.
The following patch fixes the issue.

The PCI function to physical port mapping is valid only for
old firmware. New firmware (4.0.0+) abstracts this.
So driver should never try to access phy using invalid
mapping. The behavior is unpredictable when PCI functions
4-7 are enabled on the same NIC.

The 8390 driver was structured by Al Viro to allow the flexibility
required by platforms. lib8390.c contains the core code which drivers
explicitly include:
- 8390.c includes lib8390.c to provide the standard ISA based driver.
- etherh.c includes it with the accessors defined for RiscPC platforms,
where it is addressed via the MMIO accessors with a device dependent
register spacing.
Other platform drivers do something similar.
However, b9a9b4b caused the kernel to contain not only the etherh
private build of lib8390 (included in etherh.c) but also lib8390.c
itself, and referred the new net_device_ops methods to the ISA version.
The result of this is is not pretty:

ethtool.h says the driver should set the magic field in get_eeprom and
verify it in set_eeprom. This patch adds this functionality using an
arbitary driver-specific magic value constant (0x9420).

Roel Kluin recently fixed several instances where variables reach -1,
but 0 is tested afterwards. This patch fixes another, so the timeout
will be correctly detected and a warning printed.

This is a one liner change to have the driver use by default the v1.4
of the i2400m firmware instead of v1.3. The v1.4 version of the
firmware has been submitted to David Woodhouse for inclusion in the
linux-firmware tree and it is already available at
http://linuxwimax.org/Download.
The reason for this change is that the 1.3 release of the user space
software and firmware has a few issues that will make it difficult to
use with currently deployed commercial networks such as Xohm and
Clearwire.
As well, the new 1.4 release of the user space software (which matches
the 1.4 firmware) has intermitent issues with the 1.3 firmware.
The 1.4 release in http://linuxwimax.org/Download has been widely
deployed and tested with the codebase in 2.6.29-rc, the 1.4 firmware
and the 1.4 user space components.
We understand it is quite late in the rc process for such a change,
but would like to ask for the change to be taken into consideration.
Alternatively, a user could always force feed a 1.4 firmware into a
driver that doesn't have this modification by:
$ cd /lib/firmware
$ mv i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.sbcf i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.real.sbcf
$ ln -sf i2400m-fw-usb-1.4.sbc i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.sbcf

mib_counters_update() also restarts the timer.
So the timer is dequeued, the stats are read and then the timer is
enqueued again. This is "okay" unless someone unloads the module.
The locking here is also broken:
mib_counters_update() grabs just a simple spinlock. The only thing the
lock is good for is to protect the timer func against other callers
namely mv643xx_eth_stop() && mv643xx_eth_get_ethtool_stats(). That means
if the spinlock is taken via the ethtool path and than the timer kicks
in then the box will lock up.
