On LAN9115/LAN9117/LAN9215/LAN9217, external phys are supported. These
are usually indicated by a hardware strap which sets an "external PHY
detected" bit in the HW_CFG register.
In some cases it is desirable to override this hardware strap and force
use of either the internal phy or an external PHY. This patch adds
SMSC911X_FORCE_INTERNAL_PHY and SMSC911X_FORCE_EXTERNAL_PHY flags so a
platform can indicate this preference via its platform_data.

packet: Avoid lock_sock in mmap handler
As the mmap handler gets called under mmap_sem, and we may grab
mmap_sem elsewhere under the socket lock to access user data, we

* Packets decapsulated from PIM register messages should have
skb->protocol ETH_P_IPV6.
- Enable/disable IPv6 multicast forwarding on the corresponding
interface when a routing daemon adds/removes a multicast virtual
interface.
- Remove incorrect skb_pull() to fix userspace signaling.
- Enable/disable global IPv6 multicast forwarding when an IPv6
multicast routing socket is opened/closed.

tcp_splice_data_recv has two lengths to consider: the len parameter it

and rd_desc->count, which is the amount of data the splice caller still
wants. Currently it passes just the latter to skb_splice_bits, which then
splices min(rd_desc->count, skb->len - offset) bytes.
Most of the time this is fine, except when the skb contains urgent data.
In that case len goes only up to the urgent byte and is less than
skb->len - offset. By ignoring len tcp_splice_data_recv may a) splice
data tcp_read_sock told it not to, b) return to tcp_read_sock a value > len.
Now, tcp_read_sock doesn't handle used > len and leaves the socket in a
bad state (both sk_receive_queue and copied_seq are bad at that point)

This patch fixes the issue, plus fixes following sparse warning
introduced by the same commit:
gianfar.c:1406:13: warning: context imbalance in 'gfar_vlan_rx_register' - wrong count at exit
gfar_vlan_rx_register() checks for "if (old_grp == grp)" and tries
to return w/o dropping the lock.
According to net/8021q/vlan.c VLAN core issues rx_register() callback:
1. In register_vlan_dev() only on a newly created group;
2. In unregister_vlan_dev() only if the group becomes empty.
Thus the check in the gianfar driver isn't needed.

vlan: Export symbols as non GPL symbols.
In previous kernels, any kernel module could get access to the
'real-device' and the VLAN-ID for a particular VLAN. In more recent
kernels, the code was restructured such that this is hard to do
without accessing private .h files for any module that cannot use
GPL-only symbols.
Attached is a patch to once again allow non-GPL modules the ability to
access the real-device and VLAN id for VLANs.

The current tx_has_work waited until all packets sent by the driver
are marked as completed by the FW. This is too greedy and it causes
the bnx2x_poll to spin in vain. The driver should only check that all
packets FW already completed are freed - only in unload flow the
driver should make sure that transmit queue is empty

i2c: Warn on deprecated binding model use
Let the kernel developers know that i2c_attach_client() and
i2c_detach_client() are deprecated and should no longer be used.
Drivers using these should be converted to the standard device
driver binding model (probe and remove methods.)

e1000e: workaround hw errata
There is a hardware errata in some revisions of the 82574 that needs
to be worked around in the driver by setting a register bit at init.
If this bit is not set A0 versions of the 82574 can generate
tx hangs.
