Subject: Please pull - generic HDLC

David,

The following changes since commit
f3073ac76755abd63b1d4c3d145f4c15b65b5355 (i.e., your netdev-2.6):
Guennadi Liakhovetski (1): smc911x: Fix external PHY detection

are available in the git repository at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/chris/linux-2.6.git for-david

Summary:
a) generic HDLC includes that newer PPP code, and now, with all
   drivers ported, syncppp can finally be removed
b) drivers for cards based on Hitachi/Renesas SCA and SCA-II chips are
   split and reworked. Means nothing or almost nothing to SCA-based
   cards (= ISA etc), and some updates including NAPI to PCI cards
   based on SCA-II (their are low speed but NAPI saves them when the
   card is being fed with a continuous stream of errors).
c) the relevant part of Wang Chen's dev->priv conversion batch

Posted on netdev, in "next" for months, all reported probles fixed.

Please pull, TIA.


Krzysztof Hałasa (15):
      WAN: split hd6457x.c into hd64570.c and hd64572.c
      WAN: remove SCA II support from SCA drivers
      WAN: remove SCA support from SCA-II drivers
      WAN: convert HD64572-based drivers to NAPI.
      WAN: TX-done handler now uses the ownership bit in HD64572 drivers.
      WAN: HD64572 already handles TX underruns with DMAC.
      WAN: rework HD64572 interrupts a bit.
      WAN: Simplify HD64572 status handling.
      WAN: don't print HD64572 driver versions anymore.
      WAN: Simplify HD64572 drivers.
      WAN: HD64572 drivers don't use next_desc() anymore.
      WAN: Correct comments in hd6457[02].c
      WAN: Simplify sca_init_port() in HD64572 driver.
      WAN: new synchronous PPP implementation for generic HDLC.
      WAN: syncppp.c is no longer used by any kernel code. Remove it.

Wang Chen (2):
      netdevice hdlc: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv to netdev->ml_priv
      netdevice pc300: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv to netdev->ml_priv
