Rozycki says: ==================== ethernet: 3c509: Bring driver back and make some fixes As per the previous discussions[1][2] this patch series brings the 3c509 driver back. Picking up net rather than net-next as I consider it a fix to accidental removal and so that any downstream users do not suffer from disruption when using released kernels. In the course of making the coding style changes requested I have come across an actual bug in transceiver type selection code, where the old setting is not masked out before ORing in the new one, causing no change to be actually made in a requested transition from BNC to AUI. I guess this code must have been executed exceedingly rarely, as it's always been wrong ever since it was added in 2.5.42 back in 2002. Therefore I find it not worth backporting to stable branches, however for the sake of appropriateness, in case someone downstream does want to have the fix, I chose to apply it second in the series, right after the actual revert and before code clean-ups. The remaining patches of the series should be obvious; see the respective commit descriptions for details. [1] "drivers: net: 3com: 3c509: Remove this driver", .
