This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.
However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.
No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

None of those drivers uses last_rx for its own needs.
See 4dc89133f4 ("net: add a comment on
netdev->last_rx") for reference.

To test a checkpatch spelling patch, I ran codespell against
drivers/net/ethernet/.
$ git ls-files drivers/net/ethernet/ | \
while read file ; do \
codespell -w $file; \
done
I removed a false positive in e1000_hw.h

There is no need to call ether_setup after alloc_ethdev since it was
already called there.
Follow commits c706471b26 ("net: axienet: remove unnecessary
ether_setup after alloc_etherdev") and 3c87dcbfb3 ("net: ll_temac:
Remove unnecessary ether_setup after alloc_etherdev") and fix the
pattern in all remaining ethernet drivers.

If netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() fails, subsequent code will
try to dereference an invalid pointer.
Continue to next descriptor on error.
While we're at it,
1. eliminate the chance of an endless loop, replace the main
loop with while(rx < budget)
2. use napi_complete() and remove the explicit napi_gro_flush()

DMA memory should be synchronized before data is passed
to/from controller.
Add dma_sync_single_for_cpu(.., DMA_FROM_DEVICE) to RX path
and dma_sync_single_for_device(.., DMA_TO_DEVICE) to TX path.

build_skb() is used to make skbs out of existing RX ring memory
which is bad because the RX ring is allocated only once, on probe.
Memory corruption occur because said memory is reclaimed, i.e.
__kfree_skb() (and eventually put_page()).
Replace build_skb() with netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() and use memcpy().
Remove SKB_DATA_ALIGN() from RX buffer size while we're at it.

TX buffer length is not cleared on ndo_start_xmit().
Failing to do so can bug/hang the controller and
cause TX interrupts to stop altogether.
Remove the readl() and compute a new value for DESC1.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>. Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.
This covers everything under drivers/net except for wireless, which
has been submitted separately.

__initdata tag should be placed between the variable name and equal
sign for the variable to be placed in the intended .init.data section.
In this particular case __initdata is incorrect as moxart_mac_driver
can be used after the driver gets initialized.
Also while at it static-ize moxart_mac_driver.

The driver core clears the driver data to NULL after device_release

The MOXA UC-711X hardware(s) has an ethernet controller that seem
to be developed internally. The IC used is "RTL8201CP".
Since there is no public documentation, this driver is mostly the
one published by MOXA that has been heavily cleaned up / ported
from linux 2.6.9.
