Mark Einon ec0a38bf8b staging: et131x: Fix errors caused by phydev->addr accesses before initialisation Fix two reported bugs, caused by et131x_adapter->phydev->addr being accessed before it is initialised, by: - letting et131x_mii_write() take a phydev address, instead of using the one stored in adapter by default. This is so et131x_mdio_write() can use it's own addr value. - removing implementation of et131x_mdio_reset(), as it's not needed. - moving a call to et131x_disable_phy_coma() in et131x_pci_setup(), which uses phydev->addr, until after the mdiobus has been registered.

README

This is a driver for the ET1310 network device.

Based on the driver found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/et131x/

Cleaned up immensely by Olaf Hartman and Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>

Note, the powermanagement options were removed from the vendor provided
driver as they did not build properly at the time.

TODO:
	- Look at reducing the number of spinlocks
	- Simplify code in nic_rx_pkts(), when determining multicast_pkts_rcvd
	- Implement NAPI support
	- In et131x_tx(), don't return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, just drop the packet with kfree_skb().
	- Reduce the number of split lines by careful consideration of variable names etc.
