	This updates the copyright notices of the new EMAC driver to avoid confusion as who is to be blamed for new bugs. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2007-12-07	ibm_newemac: Cleanup/fix support for STACR register variants	Benjamin Herrenschmidt
	There are a few variants of the STACR register that affect more than just the "AXON" version of EMAC. Replace the current test of various chip models with tests for generic properties in the device-tree.

2007-11-23	ibm_newemac: Fix possible lockup on close	Benjamin Herrenschmidt
	It's a bad idea to call flush_scheduled_work from within a netdev->stop because the linkwatch will occasionally take the rtnl lock from a workqueue context, and thus that can deadlock. This reworks things a bit in that area to avoid the problem. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2007-10-10	Device tree aware EMAC driver	David Gibson
	Based on BenH's earlier work, this is a new version of the EMAC driver for the built-in ethernet found on PowerPC 4xx embedded CPUs. The same ASIC is also found in the Axon bridge chip. This new version is designed to work in the arch/powerpc tree, using the device tree to probe the device, rather than the old and ugly arch/ppc OCP layer. This driver is designed to sit alongside the old driver (that lies in drivers/net/ibm_emac and this one in drivers/net/ibm_newemac). The old driver is left in place to support arch/ppc until arch/ppc itself reaches its final demise (not too long now, with luck). This driver still has a number of things that could do with cleaning up, but I think they can be fixed up after merging. Specifically: - Should be adjusted to properly use the dma mapping API. Axon needs this. - Probe logic needs reworking, in conjuction with the general probing code for of_platform devices. The dependencies here between EMAC, MAL, ZMII etc. make this complicated. At present, it usually works, because we initialize and register the sub-drivers before the EMAC driver itself, and (being in driver code) runs after the devices themselves have been instantiated from the device tree.
