Richard Cochran dccaa9e091 dp83640: add time stamp insertion for sync messages
This commit adds one step support to the phyter. When enabled, the
hardware does not provide time stamps for transmitted sync messages but
instead inserts the stamp into the outgoing packet.

Richard Cochran 49b3fd4aff dp83640: enable six external events and one periodic output
This patch enables six external event channels and one periodic output.
One GPIO is reserved for synchronizing multiple PHYs. The assignment
of GPIO functions can be changed via a module parameter.

The code supports multiple simultaneous events by inducing a PTP clock
event for every channel marked in the PHY's extended status word.

Shawn Guo c828827f84 net/fec: fix fec1 check in fec_enet_mii_init()
In function fec_enet_mii_init(), it uses non-zero pdev->id as part
of the condition to check the second fec instance (fec1).  This works
before the driver supports device tree probe.  But in case of device
tree probe, pdev->id is -1 which is also non-zero, so the logic becomes
broken when device tree probe gets supported.

The patch change the logic to check "pdev->id > 0" as the part of the
condition for identifying fec1.

Shawn Guo a9b2c8ef15 net/fec: fec_reset_phy() does not need to always succeed
FEC can work without a phy reset on some platforms, which means not
very platform necessarily have a phy-reset gpio encoded in device tree.
Even on the platforms that have the gpio, FEC can work without
resetting phy for some cases, e.g. boot loader has done that.

So it makes more sense to have the phy-reset-gpio request failure as
a debug message rather than a warning, and get fec_reset_phy() return
void since the caller does not check the return anyway.

Francois Romieu d58d46b5d8 r8169: jumbo fixes.
- fix features : jumbo frames and checksumming can not be used at the
  same time.

- introduce hw_jumbo_{enable / disable} helpers. Their content has been
  creatively extracted from Realtek's own drivers. As an illustration,
  it would be nice to know how/if the MaxTxPacketSize register operates
  when the device can work with a 9k jumbo frame as its documentation
  (8168c) can not be applied beyond ~7k.

- rtl_tx_performance_tweak is moved forward. No change.

for the allowed use of the extra (13) bit with the 8169 and 8168c.

only 810x.

It seems that at least one PPC machine would occasionally give a (valid) 0 as

we can also fix the driver to make sure we don't mess up in other arches as
well.

This patch is applicable to all current stable kernels.

Lin Ming 97c7de0557 netconsole: switch init_netconsole() to late_initcall
Commit 88491d8(drivers/net: Kconfig & Makefile cleanup) causes a
regression that netconsole does not work if netconsole and network
device driver are build into kernel, because netconsole is linked
before network device driver.

Andrew Morton suggested to fix this with initcall ordering.
Fixes it by switching init_netconsole() to late_initcall.

Ben Hutchings 710778ff87 gianfar: Fix overflow check and return value for gfar_get_cls_all()
This function may currently fill one entry beyond the end of the
array it is given.  It also doesn't return an error code in case
it does detect overflow.

Henry Wong 22e83a2926 ppp_generic: fix multilink fragment MTU calculation (again)
When using MLPPP, the maximum size of a fragment is incorrectly
calculated with an offset of -2.
This patch reverses the changes in the patch found here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=123541324010539&w=2

The value of hdrlen includes the size of both the 2-byte PPP protocol
field and the 2- or 4-byte multilink header (2+4=6 for long sequence
numbers, 2+2=4 for short sequence numbers). Section 2 of RFC1661 says
that the MRU that is negotiated (i.e., the MTU of the sending system)
includes only the PPP payload but not the protocol field, thus the
correct MTU should be the link's MTU minus the multilink header (mtu -
(hdrlen-2)).

The incorrect calculation causes Linux to fragment packets to a size two
bytes smaller than the allowed MTU. While not technically illegal, this
behaviour confounds MRU-tuning to avoid PPP-layer fragmentation.
