17cf803a57 ibm_newemac: Update file headers copyright notices
This updates the copyright notices of the new EMAC driver to
avoid confusion as who is to be blamed for new bugs.

bff713b562 ibm_newemac: Cleanup/fix support for STACR register variants
There are a few variants of the STACR register that affect more than
just the "AXON" version of EMAC. Replace the current test of various
chip models with tests for generic properties in the device-tree.

61dbcecef5 ibm_newemac: Fix possible lockup on close
It's a bad idea to call flush_scheduled_work from within a
netdev->stop because the linkwatch will occasionally take the
rtnl lock from a workqueue context, and thus that can deadlock.

This reworks things a bit in that area to avoid the problem.

1d3bb99648 Device tree aware EMAC driver
Based on BenH's earlier work, this is a new version of the EMAC driver
for the built-in ethernet found on PowerPC 4xx embedded CPUs.  The
same ASIC is also found in the Axon bridge chip.  This new version is
designed to work in the arch/powerpc tree, using the device tree to
probe the device, rather than the old and ugly arch/ppc OCP layer.

This driver is designed to sit alongside the old driver (that lies in
drivers/net/ibm_emac and this one in drivers/net/ibm_newemac).  The
old driver is left in place to support arch/ppc until arch/ppc itself
reaches its final demise (not too long now, with luck).

This driver still has a number of things that could do with cleaning
up, but I think they can be fixed up after merging.  Specifically:
	- Should be adjusted to properly use the dma mapping API.
Axon needs this.
	- Probe logic needs reworking, in conjuction with the general
probing code for of_platform devices.  The dependencies here between
EMAC, MAL, ZMII etc. make this complicated.  At present, it usually
works, because we initialize and register the sub-drivers before the
EMAC driver itself, and (being in driver code) runs after the devices
themselves have been instantiated from the device tree.
