Copying whole packets with skb_copy_from_linear_data_offset is a pretty
bad idea. CPU was spending time in __copy_user_common and network
performance was lower. With the new solution iperf-measured speed
increased from 116Mb/s to 134Mb/s.

Don't update the slot in "bgmac_dma_rx_skb_for_slot" unless both the
skb alloc and dma mapping are successful; and free the newly allocated
skb if a dma mapping error occurs. This relieves the caller of the need
to deduce/execute the appropriate cleanup action required when an error
occurs.

This cleans code a bit and will be useful when allocating buffers in
other places (like RX path, to avoid skb_copy_from_linear_data_offset).

This makes it possible to use some more advanced queuing
techniques with this driver.
When multi queue support will be added some changes to Byte Queue
handling is needed.

This is important patch for new devices that support unaligned
addressing. That devices suffer from the backward-compatibility bug in
DMA engine. In theory we should be able to use old mechanism, but in
practice DMA address seems to be randomly copied into status register
when hardware reaches end of a ring. This breaks reading slot number
from status register and we can't use DMA anymore.

Without this patch it is impossible to read et_swtype, because the 1
byte space is needed for the terminating null byte. The max expected
value is 0xF, so now it should be possible to read decimal form ("15")
and hex form ("0xF").

Some devices (BCM4749, BCM5357, BCM53572) have internal switch that
requires initialization. We already have code for this, but because
of the typo in code it was never working. This resulted in network not
working for some routers and possibility of soft-bricking them.
Use correct bit for switch initialization and fix typo in the define.

Emitting netdev_alloc_skb and netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align OOM
messages is unnecessary as there is already a dump_stack
after allocation failures.
Other trivial changes around these removals:
Convert a few comparisons of pointer to 0 to !pointer.
Change flow to remove unnecessary label.
Remove now unused variable.
Hoist assignment from if.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
"A moderately sized pile of fixes, some specifically for merge window
introduced regressions although others are for longer standing items
and have been queued up for -stable.
I'm kind of tired of all the RDS protocol bugs over the years, to be
honest, it's way out of proportion to the number of people who
actually use it.
1) Fix missing range initialization in netfilter IPSET, from Jozsef
Kadlecsik.
2) ieee80211_local->tim_lock needs to use BH disabling, from Johannes
Berg.
3) Fix DMA syncing in SFC driver, from Ben Hutchings.
4) Fix regression in BOND device MAC address setting, from Jiri
Pirko.
5) Missing usb_free_urb in ISDN Hisax driver, from Marina Makienko.
6) Fix UDP checksumming in bnx2x driver for 57710 and 57711 chips,
fix from Dmitry Kravkov.
7) Missing cfgspace_lock initialization in BCMA driver.
8) Validate parameter size for SCTP assoc stats getsockopt(), from
Guenter Roeck.
9) Fix SCTP association hangs, from Lee A Roberts.
10) Fix jumbo frame handling in r8169, from Francois Romieu.
11) Fix phy_device memory leak, from Petr Malat.
12) Omit trailing FCS from frames received in BGMAC driver, from Hauke
Mehrtens.
13) Missing socket refcount release in L2TP, from Guillaume Nault.
14) sctp_endpoint_init should respect passed in gfp_t, rather than use
GFP_KERNEL unconditionally. From Dan Carpenter.
15) Add AISX AX88179 USB driver, from Freddy Xin.
16) Remove MAINTAINERS entries for drivers deleted during the merge
window, from Cesar Eduardo Barros.
17) RDS protocol can try to allocate huge amounts of memory, check
that the user's request length makes sense, from Cong Wang.
18) SCTP should use the provided KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE instead of it's own,
bogus, definition. From Cong Wang.
19) Fix deadlocks in FEC driver by moving TX reclaim into NAPI poll,
from Frank Li. Also, fix a build error introduced in the merge
window.
20) Fix bogus purging of default routes in ipv6, from Lorenzo Colitti.
21) Don't double count RTT measurements when we leave the TCP receive
fast path, from Neal Cardwell."

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
o Add basic support for the Mediatek/Ralink Wireless SoC family.
o The Qualcomm Atheros platform is extended by support for the new
QCA955X SoC series as well as a bunch of patches that get the code
ready for OF support.
o Lantiq and BCM47XX platform have a few improvements and bug fixes.
o MIPS has sent a few patches that get the kernel ready for the
upcoming microMIPS support.
o The rest of the series is made up of small bug fixes and cleanups
that relate to various parts of the MIPS code. The biggy in there is
a whitespace cleanup. After I was sent another set of whitespace
cleanup patches I decided it was the time to clean the whitespace
"issues" for once and and that touches many files below arch/mips/.
Fix up silly conflicts, mostly due to whitespace cleanups.

Do not include the frame check sequence when adding the skb to
netif_receive_skb(). This causes problems when this interface was
bridged to a wifi ap and a big package should be forwarded from this
Ethernet driver through a bride to the wifi client.

BCMA is a Broadcom specific bus with devices AKA cores. All recent BCMA
based SoCs have gigabit ethernet provided by the GBit MAC core. This
patch adds driver for such a cores registering itself as a netdev. It
has been tested on a BCM4706 and BCM4718 chipsets.
In the kernel tree there is already b44 driver which has some common
things with bgmac, however there are many differences that has led to
the decision or writing a new driver:
1) GBit MAC cores appear on BCMA bus (not SSB as in case of b44)
2) There is 64bit DMA engine which differs from 32bit one
3) There is no CAM (Content Addressable Memory) in GBit MAC
4) We have 4 TX queues on GBit MAC devices (instead of 1)
5) Many registers have different addresses/values
6) RX header flags are also different
The driver in it's state is functional how, however there is of course
place for improvements:
1) Supporting more net_device_ops
2) SUpporting more ethtool_ops
3) Unaligned addressing in DMA
4) Writing separated PHY driver
