    gianfar: Add device ref (dev) in gfar_private · 369ec162
    Claudiu Manoil authored
    Use device pointer (dev) to simplify the code and to
    avoid double indirections, especially on the hot path.
    
    Basically, instead of accessing priv to get the ofdev
    reference and then accessing the ofdev structure to
    dereference the needed dev pointer, we will get the
    dev pointer directly from priv.
    
    The dev pointer is required on the hot path, see gfar_new_rxbdp
    or gfar_clean_rx_ring (or xmit), and this patch makes
    it available directly from priv's 1st cacheline.
    
    This change is reflected at asm level too, taking (the hot)
    gfar_new_rxbdp():
