New network driver for Amiga X-Surf 100 (m68k)
[This is a resend of my v3 series which was based on the wrong version and
tree. Only substantial change is to Asix AX99796B PHY driver.]
This patch series adds support for the Individual Computers X-Surf 100
network card for m68k Amiga, a network adapter based on the AX88796 chip set.
The driver was originally written for kernel version 3.19 by Michael Karcher
(see CC:), and adapted to 4.16+ for submission to netdev by me. Questions
regarding motivation for some of the changes are probably best directed at
Michael Karcher.
The driver has been tested by Adrian <glaubitz@physik.fu-berlin.de> who will
send his Tested-by tag separately.
A few changes to the ax88796 driver were required:
- to read the MAC address, some setup of the ax99796 chip must be done,
- attach to the MII bus only on device open to allow module unloading,
- allow to supersede ax_block_input/ax_block_output by card-specific
optimized code,
- use an optional interrupt status callback to allow easier sharing of the
card interrupt,
- set IRQF_SHARED if platform IRQ resource is marked shareable
The Asix Electronix PHY used on the X-Surf 100 is buggy, and causes the
software reset to hang if the previous command sent to the PHY was also
a soft reset. This bug requires addition of a PHY driver for Asix PHYs
to provide a fixed .soft_reset function, included in this series.
Some additional cleanup:
- do not attempt to free IRQ in ax_remove (complements

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
