cbf698dbba ixgbevf: Mailbox communication
The 82599 virtual function device and the master 82599 physical function
device implement a mailbox utility for communication between the devices
using some SRAM scratch memory and a doorbell/answering mechanism enabled
via interrupt and/or polling.  This C module and accompanying header
file implement the base functions for use of this feature.

c026ca581f NET: irda, remove unnecessary checks
Stanse found a potential null dereference in ircomm_tty_close
and ircomm_tty_hangup. There is a check for tty being NULL,
but it is dereferenced earlier. But it is bogus, the tty cannot
be NULL, so remove the !tty checks.

bf3af54732 can: mscan-mpc5xxx: add support for the MPC512x processor
The main differences compared to the MSCAN on the MPC5200 are:

- More flexibility in choosing the CAN source clock and frequency:

  Three different clock sources can be selected: "ip", "ref" or "sys".
  For the latter two, a clock divider can be defined as well. If the
  clock source is not specified by the device tree, we first try to
  find an optimal CAN source clock based on the system clock. If that
  is not possible, the reference clock will be used.

- The behavior of bus-off recovery is configurable:

  To comply with the usual handling of Socket-CAN bus-off recovery,
  "recovery on request" is selected (instead of automatic recovery).

Note that only MPC5121 Rev. 2 and later is supported.

2d4b6faf7d can: mscan: fix improper return if dlc < 8 in start_xmit function
The start_xmit function of the MSCAN Driver did return improperly if
the CAN dlc check failed (skb not freed and invalid return code). This
patch adds a proper check of the frame lenght and data size and returns
now correctly. The invalid skb packets are dropped silently as suggested
by David Miller in the thread "[RFC] ndo_validate_skb: Let the netdev
check a valid skb content" on the netdev mailing list.

Furthermore, a typo has been fixed.

df2f7ec8c0 ep93xx_eth.c general cleanup
General cleanup of the ep93xx_eth driver.

1) Use pr_fmt() to prefix the module name and __func__ to the error 
   messages.
2) <linux/io.h> instead of <asm/io.h>
3) <mach/hardware.h> instead of <mach/ep93xx-regs.h> and <mach/platform.h>
4) Move the ep93xx_mdio_read (and ep93xx_mdio_write) function to eliminate
   the function prototype.
5) Change all the printk(<level> messages to pr_<level> and remove the 
   __func__ argument.
6) Use platform_get_{resource/irq} to get the platform resources and add
   an error check.
7) Use resource_size() for request_mem_region() and ioremap().
8) Use %pM to print the MAC address at the end of the probe.
9) Use dev->dev_addr not data->dev_addr for the MAC argument because a
   random address could be used if the platform does not supply one.

The message at the end of the probe is left as a printk since it displays
cleaner without the function name that would be displayed with pr_info().

e2eb8e3859 bnx2: Flush the register writes which setup the MSI-X table
The MSI-X table size needs to be properly set before pci_enable_msix()
is called.  But on certain machines, the writes are delayed and the
MSI-X table size is incorrectly read.  By reading the
BNX2_PCI_MSIX_CONTROL register, the writes are flushed and now
ensure that the MSI-X table is set correctly before MSI-X
is enable on the device.

2c35294853 drivers/firmware/iscsi_ibft.c: use %pM to show MAC address
Use the %pM kernel extension to display the MAC address.

Also, remove the 'mac' variable and use nic->mac directly.

ce7194d889 drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.c: use %pM to show MAC address
Use the %pM kernel extension to display the MAC address.

The only difference in the output is that the MAC address is
shown in the usual colon-separated hex notation.

2d13bafeba net: Make it easier to parse /proc/net/dev contents.
The contents of /proc/net/dev is annoying to parse, because
it changes whether there is a space after the "ethX:" or not.
It depends upon the size of the "Receive bytes" counter,
if the number is below 7 digits, then there is whitespaces
else if the number is 8 digits or above there is no space
between the ":" and the number.

This patch changes the output to assure there is always a space
between the ":" and the number.  Given that all existing userspace
application already need to handle the whitespaces, I see
no breakage of existing tools.
