dl2k: Add support for IP1000A-based cards

2015-11-16T22:11:31Z

Add support for IP1000A chips to dl2k driver. IP1000A chip looks like a TC9020 with integrated PHY. This allows IP1000A chips to work reliably because the ipg driver is buggy - it loses packets under load and then completely stops transmitting data. Tested with Asus NX1101 v2.0 at 10, 100 and 1000Mbps: vendor=0x13f0 device=0x1023 (rev 0x41) subsystem vendor=0x1043 device=0x8180 MAC address registers access needed to be changed from 8-bit to 16-bit because 8-bit does not work on IP1000A. 8-bit access is not even allowed in the TC9020 datasheet (although it worked). 16-bit access works on both. Tested that it does not break D-Link DGE-550T (DL-2000 chip, probably a rebranded TC9020): vendor=0x1186 device=0x4000 (rev 0x0c) subsystem vendor=0x1186 device=0x4000 Signed-off-by: Ondrej Zary Reviewed-by: Andy Shevchenko Signed-off-by: David S.

drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO

2015-06-23T13:50:35Z

This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is no value in anyone else taking over updating it either. However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread. No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: dl2k: Use setup_timer

2015-06-01T04:34:38Z

Use the timer API function setup_timer instead of structure field assignments to initialize a timer. A simplified version of the Coccinelle semantic patch that performs this transformation is as follows: @change@ expression e1, e2, e3, e4, a, b; @@ -init_timer(&e1); +setup_timer(&e1, a, b); ... when != a = e2 when != b = e3 -e1.data = b; ... when != a = e4 -e1.function = a; Signed-off-by: Vaishali Thakkar Signed-off-by: David S.

PCI: Remove DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE macro use

2014-08-12T18:15:14Z

We should prefer `struct pci_device_id` over `DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE` to meet kernel coding style guidelines. This issue was reported by checkpatch. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/): // @@ identifier i; declarer name DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE; initializer z; @@ - DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE(i) + const struct pci_device_id i[] = z; // [bhelgaas: add semantic patch] Signed-off-by: Benoit Taine Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas

net: get rid of SET_ETHTOOL_OPS

2014-05-13T21:43:20Z

net: get rid of SET_ETHTOOL_OPS Dave Miller mentioned he'd like to see SET_ETHTOOL_OPS gone. This does that. Mostly done via coccinelle script: @@ struct ethtool_ops *ops; struct net_device *dev; @@ - SET_ETHTOOL_OPS(dev, ops); + dev->ethtool_ops = ops; Compile tested only, but I'd seriously wonder if this broke anything.

sundance: Call dev_kfree_skb_any instead of dev_kfree_skb.

Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_kfree_skb_any in start_tx that can be called in hard irq and other contexts, when the skb is dropped. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

drivers/net: delete non-required instances of include

2014-01-16T19:53:26Z

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include . Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next. This covers everything under drivers/net except for wireless, which has been submitted separately. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: dl2k: remove unnecessary pci_set_drvdata()

The driver core clears the driver data to NULL after device_release or on probe failure. Thus, it is not needed to manually clear the device driver data to NULL. Signed-off-by: Jingoo Han Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
