5df791117a [PATCH] sky2: receive error handling fix
If sky2 detects out of memory, or gets a bad frame, it reuses the same receive
buffer, but forgets to poke the hardware. This could lead to the receiver
getting stuck if there were lots of errors.

Bit-field constants in zd_chip.h are now defined using a shift expression.
The value 0x08 is now (1 << 3). The fix is intended to improve readability.

Remove misleading comment in zd_mac.c: The function already returns -EPERM
in managed mode (IW_MODE_INFRA).

Remove unused code in zd_mac.c: The unused code intended for debugging
rx_status values is no longer useful.

Added dump_stack() to ZD_ASSERT macro: Output of the stack helps to debug
assertions. Keep in mind that the ZD_ASSERT() macro only results in code,
if DEBUG is defined.

84bc715c46 [PATCH] zd1211rw: Remove IW_FREQ_AUTO support
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7399

zd1211rw's support for IW_FREQ_AUTO is broken: when specified, the driver
tries to change to a channel specified in an uninitialized integer. As
IW_FREQ_AUTO is hard to implement properly, the solution (at least for now)
is to drop support for it and start ignoring the flags like all other wireless
drivers do.

This has the added advantage that kismet also starts working with zd1211rw,
even though kismet requesting IW_FREQ_AUTO is also a bug (fixed in their svn)

89e5785fc8 [PATCH] Atmel MACB ethernet driver
Driver for the Atmel MACB on-chip ethernet module.

Tested on AVR32/AT32AP7000/ATSTK1000. I've heard rumours that it works
with AT91SAM9260 as well, and it may be possible to share some code with
the at91_ether driver for AT91RM9200.

Hardware documentation can be found in the AT32AP7000 data sheet,
which can be downloaded from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/datasheets.asp?family_id=682

Changes since previous version:
  * Probe for PHY ID instead of depending on it being provided through
    platform_data.
  * Grab initial ethernet address from the MACB registers instead
    of depending on platform_data.
  * Set MII/RMII mode correctly.

These changes are mostly about making the driver more compatible with
the at91 infrastructure.

5e123b844a [PATCH] Add tsi108/9 On Chip Ethernet device driver support
Add tsi108/9 on chip Ethernet controller driver support.

The driver code collects the feedback of previous posting form the mailing
list and gives the update.

MPC7448HPC2 platform in arch/powerpc uses tsi108 bridge.

The following is a brief description of the Ethernet controller:

The Tsi108/9 Ethernet Controller connects Switch Fabric to two independent
Gigabit Ethernet ports,E0 and E1.  It uses a single Management interface to
manage the two physical connection devices (PHYs).  Each Ethernet port has
its own statistics monitor that tracks and reports key interface
statistics.  Each port supports a 256-entry hash table for address
filtering.  In addition, each port is bridged to the Switch Fabric through
a 2-Kbyte transmit FIFO and a 4-Kbyte Receive FIFO.

Each Ethernet port also has a pair of internal Ethernet DMA channels to
support the transmit and receive data flows.  The Ethernet DMA channels use
descriptors set up in memory, the memory map of the device, and access via
the Switch Fabric.  The Ethernet Controller’s DMA arbiter handles
arbitration for the Switch Fabric.  The Controller also has a register bus
interface for register accesses and status monitor control.

The PMD (Physical Media Device) interface operates in MII, GMII, or TBI
modes.  The MII mode is used for connecting with 10 or 100 Mbit/s PMDs.
The GMII and TBI modes are used to connect with Gigabit PMDs.  Internal
data flows to and from the Ethernet Controller through the Switch Fabric.
Each

Ethernet port uses its transmit and receive DMA channels to manage data
flows through buffer descriptors that are predefined by the system (the
descriptors can exist anywhere in the system memory map).  These
descriptors are data structures that point to buffers filled with data
ready to transmit over Ethernet, or they point to empty buffers ready to
receive data from Ethernet.

08c3103a56 [PATCH] bcm43xx: remove badness variable and related routine
When the periodic work function in bcm43xx was converted for voluntary preemption
to reduce latency, a new function was created to estimate the "badness" of
each step, and this quantity was used to determine if preemption should be
enabled when periodic work was undertaken. This concept was quite useful
while debugging of periodic work was in progress. Now that this routine
seems to be working correctly, it is time to simplify the code. This
patch keeps the functionality intact, but simplifies the code.

* genphy_update_link is now exported
* Added a fix from ncase@xes-inc.com which changes forcing so it
  only updates the link.  Otherwise, it never tries the lower
  values, since it is always overwriting the speed/duplex values
  with the current ones, rather than the intended ones.
* Fixed a bug where bringing up a PHY with no link caused it to
  timeout, and enter forcing mode.  Once in forcing mode,
  plugging in the link didn't autonegotiate.  Now the AN state
  detects the lack of link, and enters the NO_LINK state.  AN
  only times out if the link is up and AN fails
* Cleaned up the PHY_AN case, reducing one level of indentation
  for the timeout code.

c5cf9101fe [PATCH] forcedeth: add recoverable error support
This patch adds support to recover from a previously fatal MAC error. In
the past the MAC would be hung on an internal fatal error. On new
chipsets, the MAC has the ability to enter a non-fatal state and allow
the driver to re-init it.

7e680c22c0 [PATCH] forcedeth: add mgmt unit support
This patch adds support for the mgmt unit in certain chipsets. The MAC
and the mgmt unit share the PHY and therefore proper intialization
procedures are needed for them to maintain coexistense.

b2e68aa337 [PATCH] defxx: Big-endian hosts support
The PDQ DMA engine requires a different byte-swapping mode for big-endian
hosts; also the MAC address which is read from a register through PIO has
to be byte-swapped.  These changes have been verified with DEFPA-DC (PCI)
boards and a Broadcom BCM91250A (MIPS CPU based) host.

hi,

replace open coded kmemdup() to save some screen space,
and allow inlining/not inlining to be triggered by gcc.

bf793295e1 r8169: perform a PHY reset before any other operation at boot time
Realtek's 8139/810x (0x8136) PCI-E comes with a touchy PHY.
A big heavy reset seems to calm it down.

Fix for http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7378.
