351291754d dt/bindings: remove device_type "network" references
device_type is deprecated and the kernel doesn't require it in most
cases. The only exceptions for flat tree users are the "gianfar",
"ucc_geth" and "ibm,emac" bindings, and arguably that requirement could
be relaxed for ucc_geth and ibm,emac (that is a task for separate
patches though).

This patch removes references to device_type="network" from the binding
documentation where possible and removes the properties from ARM and
microblaze dts files. This patch does not modify the powerpc .dts files
since there are a much larger number of them affected and I think the
ucc_geth, ibm,emac and gianfar users should be addressed before clearing
out the references to reduce the chance of breakage.

aadfb32bf6 dt/bindings: Remove references to linux,phandle properties
The linux,phandle property is essentially an internal structural element
of the DT data structure. The dtc toolchain takes care of maintaining it
at compile time. It does not need to appear as part of the binding
documentation. This patch removes it so that users don't think they need
to add a phandle property manually.

40aad3c1a9 dt/bindings: Remove all references to device_type "ethernet-phy"
The device_type property is deprecated for the flattened device tree and
the value "ethernet-phy" has never been defined as having a useful
meaning. Neither the kernel nor u-boot depend on it. It should never
have appeared in PHY bindings. This patch removes all references to
"ethernet-phy" as a device_type value from the documentation and the
.dts files.

This patch was generated mechanically with the following command and
then verified by looking at the diff.

sed -i '/"ethernet-phy"/d' `git grep -l '"ethernet-phy"'`

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Revert CHECKSUM_COMPLETE optimization in pskb_trim_rcsum(), I can't
    figure out why it breaks things.

 2) Fix comparison in netfilter ipset's hash_netnet4_data_equal(), it
    was basically doing "x == x", from Dave Jones.

 3) Freescale FEC driver was DMA mapping the wrong number of bytes, from
    Sebastian Siewior.

 4) Blackhole and prohibit routes in ipv6 were not doing the right thing
    because their ->input and ->output methods were not being assigned
    correctly.  Now they behave properly like their ipv4 counterparts.
    From Kamala R.

 5) Several drivers advertise the NETIF_F_FRAGLIST capability, but
    really do not support this feature and will send garbage packets if
    fed fraglist SKBs.  From Eric Dumazet.

 6) Fix long standing user triggerable BUG_ON over loopback in RDS
    protocol stack, from Venkat Venkatsubra.

 7) Several not so common code paths can potentially try to invoke
    packet scheduler actions that might be NULL without checking.  Shore
    things up by either 1) defining a method as mandatory and erroring
    on registration if that method is NULL 2) defininig a method as
    optional and the registration function hooks up a default
    implementation when NULL is seen.  From Jamal Hadi Salim.

 8) Fix fragment detection in xen-natback driver, from Paul Durrant.

 9) Kill dangling enter_memory_pressure method in cg_proto ops, from
    Eric W Biederman.

10) SKBs that traverse namespaces should have their local_df cleared,
    from Hannes Frederic Sowa.

11) IOCB file position is not being updated by macvtap_aio_read() and
    tun_chr_aio_read().  From Zhi Yong Wu.

12) Don't free virtio_net netdev before releasing all of the NAPI
    instances.  From Andrey Vagin.

13) Procfs entry leak in xt_hashlimit, from Sergey Popovich.

14) IPv6 routes that are no cached routes should not count against the
    garbage collection limits.  We had this almost right, but were
    missing handling addrconf generated routes properly.  From Hannes
    Frederic Sowa.

15) fib{4,6}_rule_suppress() have to consider potentially seeing NULL
    route info when they are called, from Stefan Tomanek.

16) TUN and MACVTAP have had truncated packet signalling for some time,
    fix from Jason Wang.

17) Fix use after frrr in __udp4_lib_rcv(), from Eric Dumazet.

18) xen-netback does not interpret the NAPI budget properly for TX work,
    fix from Paul Durrant.

3f823c15d5 net: smc91x: Fix device tree based configuration so it's usable
Commit 89ce376c6b (drivers/net: Use of_match_ptr() macro in smc91x.c)
added minimal device tree support to smc91x, but it's not working on
many platforms because of the lack of some key configuration bits.

Fix the issue by parsing the necessary configuration like the
smc911x driver is doing. As most smc91x users seem to use 16-bit
access, let's default to that if no reg-io-width is specified.

dd0df47dc3 net: davinci_emac: Fix platform data handling and make usable for am3517
When booted with device tree, we may still have platform data passed
as auxdata. For am3517 this is needed for passing the interrupt_enable
and interrupt_disable callbacks that access the omap system control module
registers. These callback functions will eventually go away when we have
a separate system control module driver.

Some of the things that are currently passed as platform data we don't need
to set up as device tree properties as they are always the same on am3517.
So let's use a new compatible flag for those so we can get those from
the device tree match data.

Also note that we need to fix setting of phy_dev to NULL instead of an empty
string as the code later on uses that to find the first phy on the mdio bus.
This seems to have been caused by 5d69e0076a (net: davinci_emac: switch to
new mdio).

Currently IEEE 1588 timer reference clock source is determined through

clock source by means of device tree file node.

For instance:

	fsl,cksel = <0>;

for using external (TSEC_TMR_CLK input) high precision timer
reference clock.

Other acceptable values:

	<1> : eTSEC system clock
	<2> : eTSEC1 transmit clock
	<3> : RTC clock input

When this attribute isn't used, eTSEC system clock will serve as
IEEE 1588 timer reference clock.

5892cd135e drivers: net: cpsw-phy-sel: Add new driver for phy mode selection for cpsw
The cpsw currently lacks code to properly set up the hardware interface
mode on AM33xx. Other platforms might be equally affected.

Usually, the bootloader will configure the control module register, so
probably that's why such support wasn't needed in the past. In suspend
mode though, this register is modified, and so it needs reprogramming
after resume.

This patch adds a new driver in which hardware interface can configure
correct register bits when the slave is opened.

The AM33xx also has a bit for each slave to configure the RMII reference
clock direction. Setting it is now supported by a per-slave DT property.

This code path introducted by this patch is currently exclusive for
am33xx and same can be extened to various platforms via the DT compatibility
property.

492205050d net: Add EMAC ethernet driver found on Allwinner A10 SoC's
The Allwinner A10 has an ethernet controller that seem to be developped
internally by them.

The exact feature set of this controller is unknown, since there is no
public documentation for this IP, and this driver is mostly the one
published by Allwinner that has been heavily cleaned up.

6fa52ed33b ARM: arm-soc driver changes for 3.10
This is a rather large set of patches for device drivers that for one
 reason or another the subsystem maintainer preferred to get merged
 through the arm-soc tree. There are both new drivers as well as
 existing drivers that are getting converted from platform-specific
 code into standalone drivers using the appropriate subsystem
 specific interfaces.
 
 In particular, we can now have pinctrl, clk, clksource and irqchip
 drivers in one file per driver, without the need to call into
 platform specific interface, or to get called from platform specific
 code, as long as all information about the hardware is provided
 through a device tree.
 
 Most of the drivers we touch this time are for clocksource. Since
 now most of them are part of drivers/clocksource, I expect that we
 won't have to touch these again from arm-soc and can let the
 clocksource maintainers take care of these in the future.
 
 Another larger part of this series is specific to the exynos platform,
 which is seeing some significant effort in upstreaming and
 modernization of its device drivers this time around, which
 unfortunately is also the cause for the churn and a lot of the
 merge conflicts.
 
 There is one new subsystem that gets merged as part of this series:
 the reset controller interface, which is a very simple interface
 for taking devices on the SoC out of reset or back into reset.
 Patches to use this interface on i.MX follow later in this merge
 window, and we are going to have other platforms (at least tegra
 and sirf) get converted in 3.11. This will let us get rid of
 platform specific callbacks in a number of platform independent
 device drivers.

Now that the Armada 370/XP platform has gained proper integration with
the clock framework, we add clk support in the Marvell Armada 370/XP
Ethernet driver.

Since the existing Device Tree binding that exposes a
'clock-frequency' property has never been exposed in any stable kernel
release, we take the freedom of removing this property to replace it
with the standard 'clocks' clock pointer property.

The Device Tree binding documentation is updated accordingly.

3272dd9b0f of/net/mdio-gpio: Fix pdev->id issue when using devicetrees.
When the mdio-gpio driver is probed via device trees, the platform
device id is set as -1, However the pdev->id is re-used as bus-id for
while creating mdio gpio bus.
So
For device tree case the mdio-gpio bus name appears as "gpio-ffffffff"
where as
for non-device tree case the bus name appears as "gpio-<bus-num>"

Which means the bus_id is fixed in device tree case, so we can't have
two mdio gpio buses via device trees. Assigning a logical bus number
via device tree solves the problem and the bus name is much consistent
with non-device tree bus name.

Without this patch
1. we can't support two mdio-gpio buses via device trees.
2. we should always pass gpio-ffffffff as bus name to phy_connect, very
different to non-device tree bus name.

So, setting up the bus_id via aliases from device tree is the right
solution and other drivers do similar thing.

c5aff18204 net: mvneta: driver for Marvell Armada 370/XP network unit
This patch contains a new network driver for the network unit of the
ARM Marvell Armada 370 and the Armada XP. Both SoCs use the PJ4B
processor, a Marvell-developed ARM core that implements the ARMv7
instruction set.

Compared to previous ARM Marvell SoCs (Kirkwood, Orion, Discovery),
the network unit in Armada 370 and Armada XP is highly different. This
is the reason why this new 'mvneta' driver is needed, while the older
ARM Marvell SoCs use the 'mv643xx_eth' driver.

Here is an overview of the most important hardware changes that
require a new, specific, driver for the network unit of Armada 370/XP:

 - The new network unit has a completely different design and layout
   for the RX and TX descriptors. They are now organized as a simple
   array (each RX and TX queue has base address and size of this
   array) rather than a linked list as in the old SoCs.

 - The new network unit has a different RXQ and TXQ management: this
   management is done using special read/write counter registers,
   while in the Old SocS, it was done using the Ownership bit in RX
   and TX descriptors.

 - The new network unit has different interrupt registers

 - The new network unit way of cleaning of interrupts is not done by
   writing to the cause register, but by updating per-queue counters

 - The new network unit has different GMAC registers (link, speed,
   duplex configuration) and different WRR registers.

 - The new network unit has lots of new units like PnC (Parser and
   Classifier), PMT, BM (Memory Buffer Management), xPON, and more.

The driver proposed in the current patch only handles the basic
features. Additional hardware features will progressively be supported
as needed.
