0e702ab38b [PATCH] m68knommu: FEC driver event/irq fixes
Collection of fixes for the ColdFire FEC ethernet driver:

. reworked event setting so that it occurs after the MII setup.
  roucaries bastien <roucaries.bastien@gmail.com>
. Do not read cbd_sc in memory for each bit we test. Once per buffer is enough.
. Overrun errors must increase `rx_fifo_errors', not `rx_crc_errors'
. No need for a special value to activate rx or tx.  Only write access matters.
. Simplify parameter of eth_copy_and_sum : `data' has already the right value.
. Some spelling fixes.

1f1bd5fc32 [netdrvr] Remove long-unused bits from Becker template drivers
Symbols such as PCI_USES_IO, PCI_ADDR0, etc. originated from Donald
Becker's net driver template, but have been long unused.  Remove.

In a few drivers, this allows the further eliminate of the pci_flags (or
just plain flags) member in the template driver probe structure.

Most of this logic is simply open-coded in most drivers, since it never
changes.

Made a few other cleanups while I was in there, too:
* constify, __devinitdata several PCI ID tables
* replace table terminating entries such as "{0,}," and "{NULL},"
  with a more-clean "{ }".

e2fdbc039a [PATCH] drivers/net/hamradio/dmascc.c: fix section mismatch
dev_setup() is using the __initdata variables ax25_broadcast and
ax25_test.

Since the only caller of dev_setup() (setup_adapter()) is already
__init, the solution is to make dev_setup() __init, too.

600991b003 [PATCH] Fix phy id for LXT971A/LXT972A
From: Uwe Zeisberger <Uwe_Zeisberger@digi.com>

The phy ids used are taken from an driver that used a right shift of 4 to chop
off the revision number.  This driver does not shift, so the id and mask
values are wrong and must be left shifted by 4 to actually detect the chips.

The DM9000 driver does not deal with the case
where there is no serial EEPROM to store the
configuration, and the bootloader has placed
an MAC address into the device already.

If there is no valid MAC in the EEPROM, read
the one already in the chip and check to see
if that one is valid.

de8d28b16f [SPARC64]: Convert sparc64 PCI layer to in-kernel device tree.
One thing this change pointed out was that we really should
pull the "get 'local-mac-address' property" logic into a helper
function all the network drivers can call.

ca6bb5d7ab [NET]: Require CAP_NET_ADMIN to create tuntap devices.
The tuntap driver allows an admin to create persistent devices and
assign ownership of them to individual users. Unfortunately, relaxing
the permissions on the /dev/net/tun device node so that they can
actually use those devices will _also_ allow those users to create
arbitrary new devices of their own. This patch corrects that, and
adjusts the recommended permissions for the device node accordingly.

7967168cef [NET]: Merge TSO/UFO fields in sk_buff
Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not
going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP).  So
let's merge them.

They were used to tell the protocol of a packet.  This function has been
subsumed by the new gso_type field.  This is essentially a set of netdev
feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific
skb.  As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO
skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features
field.

I've made gso_type a conjunction.  The idea is that you have a base type
(e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features.
For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would
declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN.  All TSO packets with CWR set would
have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO
packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4.  This means that only the CWR packets need
to be emulated in software.
