Timur Tabi 6b0b594bb8 [POWERPC] qe: miscellaneous code improvements and fixes to the QE library
This patch makes numerous miscellaneous code improvements to the QE library.

1. Remove struct ucc_common and merge ucc_init_guemr() into ucc_set_type()
   (every caller of ucc_init_guemr() also calls ucc_set_type()).  Modify all
   callers of ucc_set_type() accordingly.

2. Remove the unused enum ucc_pram_initial_offset.

3. Refactor qe_setbrg(), also implement work-around for errata QE_General4.

4. Several printk() calls were missing the terminating \n.

5. Add __iomem where needed, and change u16 to __be16 and u32 to __be32 where
   appropriate.

6. In ucc_slow_init() the RBASE and TBASE registers in the PRAM were programmed
   with the wrong value.

7. Add the protocol type to struct us_info and updated ucc_slow_init() to
   use it, instead of always programming QE_CR_PROTOCOL_UNSPECIFIED.

8. Rename ucc_slow_restart_x() to ucc_slow_restart_tx()

9. Add several macros in qe.h (mostly for slow UCC support, but also to
   standardize some naming convention) and remove several unused macros.

10. Update ucc_geth.c to use the new macros.

11. Add ucc_slow_info.protocol to specify which QE_CR_PROTOCOL_xxx protcol
    to use when initializing the UCC in ucc_slow_init().

12. Rename ucc_slow_pram.rfcr to rbmr and ucc_slow_pram.tfcr to tbmr, since
    these are the real names of the registers.

13. Use the setbits, clrbits, and clrsetbits where appropriate.

14. Refactor ucc_set_qe_mux_rxtx().

15. Remove all instances of 'volatile'.

16. Simplify get_cmxucr_reg();

17. Replace qe_mux.cmxucrX with qe_mux.cmxucr[].

18. Updated struct ucc_geth because struct ucc_fast is not padded any more.

Stephen Hemminger 3b12e0141f sky2: sky2 FE+ receive status workaround
The Yukon FE+ chip appears to have a hardware glitch that causes bogus
receive status values to be posted. The data in the packet is good, but
the status value is random garbage.  As a temporary workaround until the
problem is better understood, implement the workaround the vendor driver
used of ignoring the status value on this chip.

Since this means trusting dodgy hardware values; add additional checking
of the receive packet length.

Herbert Xu f3d5e3a415 [PPP] L2TP: Fix skb handling in pppol2tp_xmit
This patch makes pppol2tp_xmit call skb_cow_head so that we don't modify
cloned skb data.  It also gets rid of skb2 we only need to preserve the
original skb for congestion notification, which is only applicable for
ppp_async and ppp_sync.

The other semantic change made here is the removal of socket accounting
for data tranmitted out of pppol2tp_xmit.  The original code leaked any
existing socket skb accounting.  We could fix this by dropping the
original skb owner.  However, this is undesirable as the packet has not
physically left the host yet.

In fact, all other tunnels in the kernel do not account skb's passing
through to their own socket.  In partciular, ESP over UDP does not do
so and it is the closest tunnel type to PPPoL2TP.  So this patch simply
removes the socket accounting in pppol2tp_xmit.  The accounting still
applies to control packets of course.

I've also added a reminder that the outgoing checksum here doesn't work.
I suppose existing deployments don't actually enable checksums.

Francois Romieu d78ae2dcc2 r8169: workaround against ignored TxPoll writes (8168)
The 8168 ignores the requests to fetch the Tx descriptors when
the relevant TxPoll bit is already set. It easily kills the
performances of the 8168. David Gundersen has noticed that it
is enough to wait for the completion of the DMA transfer (NPQ
bit is cleared) before writing the TxPoll register again.

The extra IO traffic added by the proposed workaround could be
minimalized but it is not a high-priority task.

Herbert Xu db7bf6d97c [PPP] pppoe: Fix data clobbering in __pppoe_xmit and return value
The function __pppoe_xmit modifies the skb data and therefore it needs
to copy and skb data if it's cloned.

In fact, it currently allocates a new skb so that it can return 0 in
case of error without freeing the original skb.  This is totally wrong
because returning zero is meant to indicate congestion whereupon pppoe
is supposed to wake up the upper layer once the congestion subsides.

This makes sense for ppp_async and ppp_sync but is out-of-place for
pppoe.  This patch makes it always return 1 and free the skb.

Larry Finger 3f7086978f [PATCH] bcm43xx: Fix cancellation of work queue crashes
A crash upon booting that is caused by bcm43xx has been reported [1] and
found to be due to a work queue being reinitialized while work on that
queue is still pending. This fix modifies the shutdown of work queues and
prevents periodic work from being requeued during shutdown. With this patch,
no more crashes on reboot were observed by the original reporter. I do not
get that particular failure on my system; however, when running a large
number of ifdown/ifup sequences, my system would kernel panic with the
'caps lock' light blinking at roughly a 1 Hz rate. In addition, there were
infrequent failures in the firmware that resulted in 'IRQ READY TIMEOUT'
errors. With this patch, no more of the first type of failure occur, and
incidence of the second type is greatly reduced.
