Joe Perches 6469933605 ethernet: Remove casts to same type
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.

Paul Gortmaker 5e6bbedd82 drivers/net: strip unused module code from sun3_82586.c
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.

Jeff Kirsher 1159788592 i825xx: Move the Intel 82586/82593/82596 based drivers
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.
