    net: sxgbe: add basic framework for Samsung 10Gb ethernet driver

    This patch adds support for Samsung 10Gb ethernet driver(sxgbe).


This commit added the following in the Kconfig file:

config NET_VENDOR_SAMSUNG
        bool "Samsung Ethernet device"
        default y
        ---help---
          This is the driver for the SXGBE 10G Ethernet IP block found on Samsung
          platforms.

Please redo this to match the style of other NET_VENDOR_FOO, and make clear
that it only selects a submenu.  For instance, drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/Kconfig
says:

config NET_VENDOR_QLOGIC
        bool "QLogic devices"
        default y
        depends on PCI
        ---help---
          If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y
          and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
          <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

          Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
          kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
          the questions about QLogic cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for
          your specific card in the following questions.

if NET_VENDOR_QLOGIC
