Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Fix MAC address setting in mac80211 pmsr code, from Johannes Berg.

 2) Probe SFP modules after being attached, from Russell King.

 3) Byte ordering bug in SMC rx_curs_confirmed code, from Ursula Braun.

 4) Revert some r8169 changes that are causing regressions, from Heiner
    Kallweit.

 5) Fix spurious connection timeouts in netfilter nat code, from Florian
    Westphal.

 6) SKB leak in tipc, from Hoang Le.

 7) Short packet checkum issue in mlx4, similar to a previous mlx5
    change, from Saeed Mahameed. The issue is that whilst padding bytes
    are usually zero, it is not guarateed and the hardware doesn't take
    the padding bytes into consideration when generating the checksum.

 8) Fix various races in cls_tcindex, from Cong Wang.

 9) Need to set stream ext to NULL before freeing in SCTP code, from Xin
    Long.

10) Fix locking in phy_is_started, from Heiner Kallweit.
