Subject: [net-next 00/16][pull request] Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates

This patch series contains most of Ben Greear's low-level
Ethernet debugging features patch series.  Problems were found
with the e100 and one of the e1000 patches in the series, so they
have been dropped and will be pushed later once the problems get
ironed out.  There are 4 additional patches added to this pull
request which do the following:

e1000e - cosmetic changes
e1000 - cleanup e1000_dump and e1000_config_dsp_after_link_change
        functions

Here is the patch summary for Ben's low-level Ethernet debugging
patches:

This patch series enables some features designed to make
testing ethernet devices and debugging link-level errors
easier.

First, support is added for receiving the Ethernet FCS.  This
allows stock wireshark to show you the actual Ethernet FCS.

Second, allow sending packets with user-specified Ethernet
FCS.  The user can specify bad FCS in order to test network
equipments' handling of FCS errors, or, in strange cases,
users might want to implement their own FCS scheme.

Third, allow configuring a NIC to receive errored (and possibly
other types of packets not normally passed up the stack).  This
allows sniffers to show packets with bad FCS, for instance.

The following are changes since commit 7c3a95a15ad2a5278498a72df0463131048926a3:
  davinci_mdio: Correct bitmask for clock divider value
