roel kluin 15b8e19131 pasemi_mac: mac_to_intf() error not noticed
mac_to_intf() can return -1 when no device or function is found, but when
mac->dma_if is unsigned. The error wasn't noticed.

Waskiewicz Jr, Peter P fa466e91bd ixgbe: Disallow SFP 1G modules in the SFP+ cages for 82598 and 82599
82598 and 82599 do not support SFP 1G modules.  Instead of allowing the
driver to load, but never get link, rejecting the module and displaying
a useful message is more preferrable.  The framework for displaying the
failure message already exists, now we just need to detect and reject the
SFP modules.

Alexander Duyck 78b1f6070f igb: always use adapter->itr as EITR value
The igb driver was switching between adapter->itr containing the EITR value
and the number of interrupts per second.  This resulted in high latencies
being seen after brining the interface down and then back up.  To resolve
the issue the itr value will now only contain the value that should be
programmed into EITR.

Jiri Pirko 41f8910040 bonding: ignore updelay param when there is no active slave
Pointed out by Sean E. Millichamp.

Quote from Documentation/networking/bonding.txt:
"Note that when a bonding interface has no active links, the
driver will immediately reuse the first link that goes up, even if the
updelay parameter has been specified (the updelay is ignored in this
case).  If there are slave interfaces waiting for the updelay timeout
to expire, the interface that first went into that state will be
immediately reused.  This reduces down time of the network if the
value of updelay has been overestimated, and since this occurs only in
cases with no connectivity, there is no additional penalty for
ignoring the updelay."

This patch actually changes the behaviour in this way.

Grant Likely 434e7b0d12 net: fix fsl_pq_mdio driver to use module_init()
Modules are not supposed to use any of the *_initcall*() hooks as
the entry point.  fsl_pq_mdio.c was using subsys_initcall_sync()
instead of module_init() to guarantee that the MDIO bus was initialized
before the Ethernet driver goes looking for the phy.  However, the recent
OF helpers rework happens to also make sure PHY connection is deferred to
.open time, so using an initcall is no longer necessary.

This patch replaces the initcall with a more traditional an accepted
module_init() call.

Grant Likely 9274498953 net: add Xilinx ll_temac device driver
This patch adds support for the Xilinx ll_temac 10/100/1000 Ethernet
device.  The ll_temac ipcore is typically used on Xilinx Virtex and
Spartan designs attached to either a PowerPC 4xx or Microblaze
processor.

At the present moment, this driver only works with Virtex5 PowerPC
designs because it assumes DCR is used to access the DMA registers.
However, the low level access to DMA registers is abstracted and
it should be easy to adapt for the other implementations.

I'm posting this driver now as an RFC.  There are still some things that
need to be tightened up, but it does appear to be stable.

Derived from driver code written by Yoshio Kashiwagi and David H. Lynch Jr.

Tested on Xilinx ML507 eval board with Base System Builder generated
FPGA design.

Luis R. Rodriguez 85efc86eb7 atheros: fix propagation of bad EEPROM on regulatory init
When the EEPROM is not in good condition we cannot continue so
we currently bail out but only ath5k is bailing out properly.
Both ath9k and ar9170 were proceeding and if a user were to run
into this they'd see an obscure panic. Lets propagate the error
as intended and make sure we inform the user by lifting the
error message from debug to a kernel error.

Bob Copeland 26925042b6 ath5k: manipulate rxlink and descriptor address under rxbuf lock
Grabbing an ath5k_buf then dropping the lock is racy because the
referenced descriptor can be obtained in another thread and released
before the buffer is handed to the hardware.  Likewise, manipulating
sc->rxlink without the lock can lead to having multiple self-linked
hardware descriptors.

Bob Copeland c57ca81576 ath5k: use rx hw descriptor pointer for self-linked check
This patch simplifies the code used to detect when the
self-linked DMA buffer is still in use by hardware, by
checking the hardware's rxdp register instead of looking
at the software buffer list.

Current code uses int types, but both modparams are boolean values.

Bob Copeland 56d2ac7638 ath5k: use tasklet_hi_schedule for beacon queue
For embedded platforms, beacon transmission can be starved when
flooded with data packets.  Prioritize beacons by giving the beacon
queue the first shot when the isr completes.

Bob Copeland 77ded01cc2 ath5k: fix initvals errors
This patch corrects a few errors in the initvals tables to match those
in the HAL tables.  Namely, remove a couple of repetitions, fix some
turbo mode errors, and correct a register for the CCK rate power table.
