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.

Joshua Kinard c0d2b8376a net: meth: Add set_rx_mode hook to fix ICMPv6 neighbor discovery
SGI IP32 (O2)'s ethernet driver (meth) lacks a set_rx_mode function, which
prevents IPv6 from working completely because any ICMPv6 neighbor
solicitation requests aren't picked up by the driver.  So the machine can
ping out and connect to other systems, but other systems will have a very
hard time connecting to the O2.

Axel Lin db62f684de net/ethernet: convert drivers/net/ethernet/* to use module_platform_driver()
This patch converts the drivers in drivers/net/ethernet/* to use the
module_platform_driver() macro which makes the code smaller and a bit
simpler.

Jeff Kirsher aaba215ca0 MII: fix Kconfig dependencies for MII
MII Kconfig option is apart of the core networking drivers and
by default NET_CORE is enabled so drivers selecting MII will
have MII enabled as well.  It was found using the randconfig
option during testing, MII would be selected but NET_CORE
could be disabled.  This caused a dependency error.

Resolved the dependency by selecting NET_CORE when MII is
selected.

Jeff Kirsher 88f07484cc drivers/net/ethernet/*: Enabled vendor Kconfig options
Based on finds for Stephen Rothwell, where current defconfig's
enable a ethernet driver and it is not compiled due to the newly
added NET_VENDOR_* component of Kconfig.

This patch enables all the "new" Kconfig options so that current
defconfig's will continue to compile the expected drivers.  In
addition, by enabling all the new Kconfig options does not add
any un-expected options.
