Zhao, Gang 0b15862d46 staging: et131x: remove spinlock adapter->lock adapter->lock is only used in et131x_multicast(), which is eventually called by network stack function __dev_set_rx_mode(). __dev_set_rx_mode() is always called by (net_device *)dev->addr_list_lock hold, to protect from concurrent access. So adapter->lock is redundant.

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.
