a4d63a9437 ethoc: limit the number of buffers to 128
Only 128 buffer descriptors are supported in the core. Limit the
number in case we have more memory.

0baa080c75 ethoc: use system memory as buffer
This patch enabled the ethoc to allocate system memory as buffer
when there is no dedicated buffer memory.

Some hardware designs may not have dedicated buffer memory such as
on chip or off chip SRAM. In this case, only one memory resource is
supplied in the platform data instead of two. Then a DMA buffer can
be allocated from system memory and used for the transfer.

050f91dcd9 ethoc: align received packet to make IP header at word boundary
The packet buffer is allocated at 4 bytes boundary, but the IP header
length and version bits is located at byte 14. These bit fields access
as 32 bits word and caused exception on processors that do not support
unaligned access.

The patch adds 2 bytes offset to make the bit fields word aligned.

3ee19a85bb ethoc: fix buffer address mapping
The pointer address in buffer descriptors is physical address. The
pointer that processor used to access packet is virtual address.

Though the higher bits of pointer address used by the MAC may be
truncated to zero in special case, it is not always true in larger
designs.

639b62a528 ethoc: fix typo to compute number of tx descriptors
It should be max() instead of min(). Use 1/4 of available
descriptors for tx, and there should be at least 2 tx
descriptors.

451f144398 drivers: Kill now superfluous ->last_rx stores
The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

61357325f3 netdev: convert bulk of drivers to netdev_tx_t
In a couple of cases collapse some extra code like:
   int retval = NETDEV_TX_OK;
   ...
   return retval;
into
   return NETDEV_TX_OK;

463889e27e drivers/net: Correct redundant test

3790c8cdb9 net: fix network driver ndo_start_xmit() return values (part 1)
Fix up drivers that return an errno value to qdisc_restart(), causing
qdisc_restart() to print a warning and requeue/retransmit the skb.

- xpnet: memory allocation error, intention is to drop
- ethoc: oversized packet, packet must be dropped
- ibmlana: skb freed: use after free
- rrunner: skb freed: use after free

a170285772 net: Add support for the OpenCores 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC.
This patch adds a platform device driver that supports the OpenCores 10/100
Mbps Ethernet MAC.

The driver expects three resources: one IORESOURCE_MEM resource defines the
memory region for the core's memory-mapped registers while a second
IORESOURCE_MEM resource defines the network packet buffer space. The third
resource, of type IORESOURCE_IRQ, associates an interrupt with the driver.
