2012-06-06	ethernet: Remove casts to same type	Joe Perches	1	-2/+2
	Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary and confusing for a human reader. For example, this cast: int y; int p = (int )&y; I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these unnecessary casts. I manually removed the conversions this script produces of casts with __force, __iomem and __user. @@ type T; T p; @@ - (T )p + p A function in atl1e_main.c was passed a const pointer when it actually modified elements of the structure. Change the argument to a non-const pointer. A function in stmmac needed a __force to avoid a sparse warning. Added it. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-02-06	netdev: ethernet dev_alloc_skb to netdev_alloc_skb	Pradeep A Dalvi	1	-1/+1
	Replaced deprecating dev_alloc_skb with netdev_alloc_skb in drivers/net/ethernet - Removed extra skb->dev = dev after netdev_alloc_skb Signed-off-by: Pradeep A Dalvi <netdev@pradeepdalvi.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-01-30	drivers/net: strip unused module code from sun3_82586.c	Paul Gortmaker	1	-25/+0
	This code is clearly unused, since it has a #error right in it. Given the vintage of sun3 hardware, it is probably safe to assume that there is little interest in adding new functionality to the driver now, so just delete the unused block of code.

2011-08-10	i825xx: Move the Intel 82586/82593/82596 based drivers	Jeff Kirsher	1	-0/+1213
	Move the drivers that use the i82586/i82593/i82596 chipsets into drivers/net/ethernet/i825xx/ and make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes. There were 4 3Com drivers which were initially moved into 3com/, which now reside in i825xx since they all used the i82586 chip.
