dnet: remove empty MDIO bus reset function

2014-03-28T05:38:02Z

dnet_mdio_reset() does nothing useful and is optional for the MDIO bus code, so let's just remove it. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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: phy: remove flags argument from phy_{attach, connect, connect_direct}

2013-01-14T20:11:50Z

The flags argument of the phy_{attach,connect,connect_direct} functions is then used to assign a struct phy_device dev_flags with its value. All callers but the tg3 driver pass the flag 0, which results in the underlying PHY drivers in drivers/net/phy/ not being able to actually use any of the flags they would set in dev_flags. This patch gets rid of the flags argument, and passes phydev->dev_flags to the internal PHY library call phy_attach_direct() such that drivers which actually modify a phy device dev_flags get the value preserved for use by the underlying phy driver.

net/ethernet: remove __dev* attributes

2012-12-03T19:16:56Z

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As result the __dev* markings will be going away. Remove use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst, and __devexit. Signed-off-by: Bill Pemberton Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

net/ethernet: remove useless is_valid_ether_addr from drivers ndo_open

2012-11-20T00:01:18Z

If ndo_validate_addr is set to the generic eth_validate_addr function there is no point in calling is_valid_ether_addr from driver ndo_open if ndo_open is not used elsewhere in the driver. With this change is_valid_ether_addr will be called from the generic eth_validate_addr function. So there should be no change in the actual behavior.

net: replace random_ether_addr() with eth_hw_addr_random()

2012-02-15T20:34:16Z

Replace usage of random_ether_addr() with eth_hw_addr_random() to set addr_assign_type correctly to NET_ADDR_RANDOM. Change the trivial cases. v2: adapt to renamed eth_hw_addr_random() Signed-off-by: Danny Kukawka Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netdev: ethernet dev_alloc_skb to netdev_alloc_skb

drivers/net: Remove alloc_etherdev error messages

2012-01-31T21:20:48Z

alloc_etherdev has a generic OOM/unable to alloc message. Remove the duplicative messages after alloc_etherdev calls. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
