eth: de4x5: remove support for Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA

2022-05-23T10:43:51Z

Looks like almost all changes to this driver had been tree-wide refactoring since git era begun. There is one commit from Al 15 years ago which could potentially be fixing a real bug. The driver is using virt_to_bus() and is a real magnet for pointless cleanups. It seems unlikely to have real users. Let's try to shed this maintenance burden.

docs: networking: reorganize driver documentation again

2020-06-26T23:08:44Z

Organize driver documentation by device type. Most documents have fairly verbose yet uninformative names, so let users first select a well defined device type, and then search for a particular driver. While at it rename the section from Vendor drivers to Hardware drivers. This seems more accurate, besides people sometimes refer to out-of-tree drivers as vendor drivers.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21Z

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

net: documentation: build a directory structure for drivers

2018-12-05T19:30:06Z

Documentation/networking/ is full of cryptically named files with driver documentation. This makes finding interesting information at a glance really hard. Move all those files into a directory called device_drivers (since not all drivers are for device) and fix up references. RFC v0.1 -> RFC v1: - also add .txt suffix to the files which are missing it (Quentin) Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: Quentin Monnet Acked-by: David Ahern Acked-by: Henrik Austad Signed-off-by: David S.

drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO

2015-06-23T13:50:35Z

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. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Move MII out from under NET_CORE and hide it

2013-06-20T05:22:56Z

All drivers that select MII also need to select NET_CORE because MII depends on it. This is a bit ridiculous because NET_CORE is just a menu option that doesn't enable any code by itself. There is also no need for it to be a visible option, since its users all select it. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Acked-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethernet/tulip: DE4x5 needs VIRT_TO_BUS

2013-03-17T16:01:10Z

The automated ARM build tests have shown that the tulip de4x5 driver uses the old-style virt_to_bus() interface on some architectures. Alpha, Sparc and PowerPC did not hit this problem, because they use a different code path, and most other architectures actually do provide VIRT_TO_BUS.
