Merge branch 'davinci_emac'
Christian Riesch says: ==================== net: davinci_emac: Fix interrupt requests and error handling since commit 6892b41d (Linux 3.11) the davinci_emac driver is broken. After doing ifconfig down, ifconfig up, requesting the interrupts for the driver fails. The interface remains dead until the board is rebooted. The first patch in this patchset reverts commit 6892b41d partially and makes the driver useable again. During the work on the first patch, a number of bugs in the error handling of the driver's ndo_open code were found. The second patch fixes these bugs. I believe the first patch meets the rules for stable kernels, I therefore added the stable tag to this patch. The second patch is just cleanup, the code that is fixed by this patch is only executed in case of an error. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
