    alx: add a simple AR816x/AR817x device driver · ab69bde6
    Johannes Berg authored
    This is a very simple driver, based on the original vendor
    driver that Qualcomm/Atheros published/submitted previously,
    but reworked to make the code saner. However, it also lost
    a number of features (TSO/GSO, VLAN acceleration and multi-
    queue support) in the process, as well as debugging support
    features I didn't have any use for. The only thing I left
    is checksum offload.
    
    More features can obviously be added, but this seemed like
    a good start for having a driver in mainline at all.
    
    Johannes Stezenbach has verified that the driver works on
    AR8161, I have a AR8171 myself. The E2200 device ID I found
    on github in somebody's repository.
