    [PATCH] HDLC update · 314635e1
    Krzysztof Halasa authored
    This updates generic HDLC from 1.14 to 1.15.
    
     - fix a kernel panic caused by a recent change to unregister_netdevice()
       (struct net_device * can't be kfreed before rtnl_unlock())
     - adds carrier_* support - hw drivers report DCD status and higher level
       protocols use that info, and do netif_carrier_{on,off}() according to
       DCD and (Cisco and FR) link management status.
     - moves Frame-Relay constants etc. from include/linux/hdlc.h to hdlc_fr.c.
       They are internal FR things and are not needed in the global header.
     - protocol hooks are slighty changed to allow zeroing (memset).
     - removes CONFIG_HDLC_DEBUG_* variables. Users tend to make very wrong
       use of them. Now setting them requires changing .c #define. Anyway they
       are development-only things.
     - misc style corrections etc.
