====================
This series contains updates to e1000, e1000e, igb, igbvf and ixgbe.
The e1000, e1000e, igb and igbvf are single patch changes and the
remaining 11 patches are all against ixgbe.
The e1000 patch is a comment cleanup to align e1000 with the code
commenting style for /drivers/net. It also contains a few other white
space cleanups (i.e. fix lines over 80 char, remove unnecessary blank
lines and fix the use of tabs/spaces).
The e1000e patch from Koki (Fujitsu) adds a warning when link speed is
downgraded due to SmartSpeed.
The igb patch from Stefan (Red Hat) increases the timeout in the ethtool
offline self-test because some i350 adapters would sometimes fail the
self-test because link auto negotiation may take longer than the current
4 second timeout.
The igbvf patch from Alex is meant to address several race issues that
become possible because next_to_watch could possibly be set to a value
that shows that the descriptor is done when it is not. In order to correct
that we instead make next_to_watch a pointer that is set to NULL during
cleanup, and set to the eop_desc after the descriptor rings have been written.
The remaining patches for ixgbe are a mix of fixes and added support as well
as some cleanup. Most notably is the added support for displaying the
number of Tx/Rx channels via ethtool by Alex. Also Aurélien adds the
ability for reading data from SFP+ modules over i2c for diagnostic
monitoring.
