<content type='text'>
After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove()
return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for
platform drivers.

Convert all platform drivers below drivers/net/ethernet to use
.remove(), with the eventual goal to drop struct
platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have the
same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure
member name in the driver initializer.

<title>net: ethernet: dnet: Convert to platform remove callback returning void</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5db6c1fed1f9475726271c7e2459e26383c07689</id>
<content type='text'>
The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.
To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() is renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

<content type='text'>
It is not allowed to call kfree_skb() or consume_skb() from hardware
interrupt context or with hardware interrupts being disabled.

In this case, the lock is used to protected 'bp', so we can move
dev_kfree_skb() after the spin_unlock_irqrestore().

<title>net: drop the weight argument from netif_napi_add</title>

<content type='text'>
We tell driver developers to always pass NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT
as the weight to netif_napi_add(). This may be confusing
to newcomers, drop the weight argument, those who really
need to tweak the weight can use netif_napi_add_weight().

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this
subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used.

A handful of drivers use sizeof(addr) for the size of
the address, after manually confirming the size is
indeed 6 convert them to eth_hw_addr_set().

<title>ethernet: constify references to netdev-&gt;dev_addr in drivers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:766607570becbd26cab6d66a544dd8d0d964df5a</id>
<content type='text'>
This big patch sprinkles const on local variables and
function arguments which may refer to netdev-&gt;dev_addr.

Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev-&gt;dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.

Some of the changes here are not strictly required - const
is sometimes cast off but pointer is not used for writing.
It seems like it's still better to add the const in case
the code changes later or relevant -W flags get enabled
for the build.

No functional changes.

Most users of ndo_do_ioctl are ethernet drivers that implement
the MII commands SIOCGMIIPHY/SIOCGMIIREG/SIOCSMIIREG, or hardware
timestamping with SIOCSHWTSTAMP/SIOCGHWTSTAMP.

Separate these from the few drivers that use ndo_do_ioctl to
implement SIOCBOND, SIOCBR and SIOCWANDEV commands.

This is a purely cosmetic change intended to help readers find
their way through the implementation.

As part of the W=1 compliation series, these lines all created
warnings about unused variables that were assigned a value. Most
of them are from register reads, but some are just picking up
a return value from a function and never doing anything with it.

The register reads should be OK, because the current
implementation of readl and friends will always execute even
without an lvalue.

When it makes sense, just remove the lvalue assignment and the
local. Other times, just remove the offending code, and
occasionally, just mark the variable as maybe unused since it
could be used in an ifdef or debug scenario.

Only compile tested with W=1.

Fixes the following W=1 kernel build warning(s):

drivers/net/ethernet/dnet.c:510:6: warning:
 variable 'tx_status' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
  u32 tx_status, irq_enable;
      ^~~~~~~~~

After commit 4796417417a6 ("dnet: Dave DNET ethernet controller driver
(updated)"), variable 'tx_status' is never used in dnet_start_xmit(),
so removing it to avoid build warning.
