The documentation for the USB ethernet devices suggests that
only some devices are supposed to use usb0 as the network interface
name instead of eth0. The logic used there, and documented in
Kconfig for CDC is that eth0 will be used when the mac address
is a globally assigned one, but usb0 is used for the locally
managed range that is typically used on point-to-point links.
Unfortunately, this has caused a lot of pain on the smsc95xx
device that is used on the popular pandaboard without an
EEPROM to store the MAC address, which causes the driver to
call random_ether_address().
Obviously, there should be a proper MAC addressed assigned to
the device, and discussions are ongoing about how to solve
this, but this patch at least makes sure that the default
interface naming gets a little saner and matches what the
user can expect based on the documentation, including for
new devices.
The approach taken here is to flag whether a device might be a
point-to-point link with the new FLAG_POINTTOPOINT setting in
the usbnet driver_info. A driver can set both FLAG_POINTTOPOINT
and FLAG_ETHER if it is not sure (e.g. cdc_ether), or just one
of the two. The usbnet framework only looks at the MAC address
for device naming if both flags are set, otherwise it trusts the
flag.

This adds a driver for the CDC Ethernet part of this modem. The
device's ID is blacklisted in cdc_ether.c and is white-listed in
this new driver because of the quirks needed to make it useful.
The modem's firmware exposes a CDC ACM port for modem control and a
CDC Ethernet port for network data. The descriptors look fine but
both ports actually are some sort of multiplexers requiring non-
standard headers added/removed from every packet or they get
ignored. All information is based on a usb traffic log from a
Windows machine.
On the Verizon 4G network I've seen speeds up to 1.1MB/s so far with
this driver, a speed-o-meter site reports 16.2Mbps/10.5Mbps.
Userspace scripts are required to talk to the CDC ACM port.

Changes:
include/linux/usb/usbnet.h:
- a new flag to indicate driver's capability to accumulate IP packets in Tx
direction and extract several packets from single skb in Rx direction.
drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c:
- the procedure of counting packets in usbnet was updated due to the
accumulating of IP packets in the driver
- no short packets are sent if indicated by the flag in driver_info
structure

These macros are too similar to the dev_<level> equivalents
but take a usbnet * argument. Convert them to the recently
introduced netdev_<level> macros and remove the old macros.
The old macros had "\n" appended to the format string.
Add the "\n" to the converted uses.
Some existing uses of the dev<foo> macros in cdc_eem.c
probably mistakenly had trailing "\n". No "\n" added there.

Usbnet framework assumes USB hardware doesn't handle zero length
packets, but SMSC LAN95xx requires these to be sent for correct
operation.
This patch fixes an easily reproducible tx lockup when sending a frame
that results in exactly 512 bytes in a USB transmission (e.g. a UDP
frame with 458 data bytes, due to IP headers and our USB headers). It
adds an extra flag to usbnet for the hardware driver to indicate that
it can handle and requires the zero length packets.
This patch should not affect other usbnet users, please also consider
for -stable.

Add rx queue pausing to usbnet. This is needed by rndis_wlan so that it can
control rx queue and prevent received packets from being send forward before
rndis_wlan receives and handles 'media connect'-indication. Without this
establishing WPA connections is hard and fail often.
