sfc: Fix some incorrect or redundant comments

2010-02-04T03:12:47Z

In particular, the comment about EVQ_RPTR_REG is based on inconsistent preliminary hardware documentation, though the following code was fixed long before release. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sfc: Replace PHY MDIO test with an 'alive' test

2010-02-04T03:12:44Z

SFC9000-family boards do not all use MDIO PHYs, so we need a different test for PHY aliveness. Introduce a PHY operation test_alive(). For PHYs attached to Falcon, use a common implementation based on the existing PHY MDIO test. For PHYs managed through MCDI, use the appropriate MCDI request. Change test name in ethtool from 'core mdio' to 'phy alive'. Rename test_results::mdio to phy_alive and test_results::phy to phy_ext. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sfc: Update version, copyright dates, authors

2009-11-30T01:23:58Z

This driver has been mostly rewritten since Michael Brown's initial work, so swap the order of the authors. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sfc: Add support for SFC9000 family (2)

2009-11-30T01:23:57Z

This integrates support for the SFC9000 family of 10G Ethernet controllers and LAN-on-motherboard chips, starting with the SFL9021 'Siena' and SFC9020 'Bethpage'.

sfc: Rename falcon.h to nic.h

sfc: Extend MTD driver for use with new NICs

2009-11-30T01:23:54Z

In new NICs flash is managed by firmware and we will use high-level operations on partitions rather than direct SPI commands. Add support for multiple MTD partitions per flash device and remove the direct link between MTD and SPI devices. Maintain a list of MTD partitions in struct efx_nic.

sfc: Remove static PHY data and enumerations

2009-11-30T01:23:53Z

New NICs have firmware managing the PHY, and we will discover the PHY capabilities at run-time. Replace the static data with probe() and test_name() operations. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sfc: Separate shared NIC code from Falcon-specific and rename accordingly
