Paul Gortmaker 138b15ed87 drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO
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.

Benoit Taine 9baa3c34ac PCI: Remove DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE macro use
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/):

// <smpl>

@@
identifier i;
declarer name DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE;
initializer z;
@@

- DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE(i)
+ const struct pci_device_id i[]
= z;

Paul Gortmaker a81ab36bf5 drivers/net: delete non-required instances of include <linux/init.h>
None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>.   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.

Joe Perches ede23fa816 drivers:net: Convert dma_alloc_coherent(...__GFP_ZERO) to dma_zalloc_coherent
__GFP_ZERO is an uncommon flag and perhaps is better
not used.  static inline dma_zalloc_coherent exists
so convert the uses of dma_alloc_coherent with __GFP_ZERO
to the more common kernel style with zalloc.

Remove memset from the static inline dma_zalloc_coherent
and add just one use of __GFP_ZERO instead.

Trivially reduces the size of the existing uses of
dma_zalloc_coherent.

Realign arguments as appropriate.

Ben Hutchings a1606c7dc6 net: Move MII out from under NET_CORE and hide it
All drivers that select MII also need to select NET_CORE because MII
depends on it.  This is a bit ridiculous because NET_CORE is just a
menu option that doesn't enable any code by itself.

There is also no need for it to be a visible option, since its users
all select it.

Jingoo Han dfd93c977d net: ethernet: remove unnecessary platform_set_drvdata()
The driver core clears the driver data to NULL after device_release
or on probe failure, since commit 0998d06310
(device-core: Ensure drvdata = NULL when no driver is bound).
Thus, it is not needed to manually clear the device driver data to NULL.

them back up to be properly aligned.

Bonus is that this almost removes 100 lines of code, always a nice

Joe Perches 6469933605 ethernet: Remove casts to same type
Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary
and confusing for a human reader.

For example, this cast:

        int y;
        int *p = (int *)&y;

I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these
unnecessary casts.  I manually removed the conversions this
script produces of casts with __force, __iomem and __user.

@@
type T;
T *p;
@@

-       (T *)p
+       p

A function in atl1e_main.c was passed a const pointer
when it actually modified elements of the structure.

Change the argument to a non-const pointer.

A function in stmmac needed a __force to avoid a sparse
warning.  Added it.

Joshua Kinard c0d2b8376a net: meth: Add set_rx_mode hook to fix ICMPv6 neighbor discovery
SGI IP32 (O2)'s ethernet driver (meth) lacks a set_rx_mode function, which
prevents IPv6 from working completely because any ICMPv6 neighbor
solicitation requests aren't picked up by the driver.  So the machine can
ping out and connect to other systems, but other systems will have a very
hard time connecting to the O2.

Jeff Kirsher aaba215ca0 MII: fix Kconfig dependencies for MII
MII Kconfig option is apart of the core networking drivers and
by default NET_CORE is enabled so drivers selecting MII will
have MII enabled as well.  It was found using the randconfig
option during testing, MII would be selected but NET_CORE
could be disabled.  This caused a dependency error.

Resolved the dependency by selecting NET_CORE when MII is
selected.

Based on finds for Stephen Rothwell, where current defconfig's
enable a ethernet driver and it is not compiled due to the newly
added NET_VENDOR_* component of Kconfig.

This patch enables all the "new" Kconfig options so that current
defconfig's will continue to compile the expected drivers.  In
addition, by enabling all the new Kconfig options does not add
any un-expected options.
