This patch is Mr. Russell King's developed code which I'm submitting to Linux community for review.
just following Russell's request. 
i.e.
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/ZsCMtARGCOLsbF9h@shell.armlinux.org.uk/

if it is required, I can send both together in a single series. Please confirm 

Hi Russell, Do you any concerns about Mr. Simon comments?

Thanks,
Raju
