Well, I've had these patches kicking around in my tree since last October, so I
guess I had better get around to posting them. This series is mainly a
cleanup/consolidation of the probe process, with some interrupt changes as well.
Some of these changes are SBUS- (AKA SPARC-) specific, so this should really get
some testing there as well to ensure nothing breaks. I've CC'd a few SPARC
mailing lists in hopes that someone there can try this out. I also have an SBUS
card I ordered by mistake if anyone has a SPARC computer but lacks this card.
I had originally planned on adding phylib support to this driver in the hopes of
being able to use real phy drivers, but I don't think I'm going to end up doing
that. I wanted to be able to use an external (homegrown) phy, but as it turns
out you can't buy MII cables in $CURRENTYEAR for under $250 a pop, and even if
you could get them you can't buy the connectors either. Oh well...
Doesn't apply to net-next, please note we're using the branch called
*main* now.
