Subject: [PATCH update 2] firewire: net: add carrier detection

From: Maxim Levitsky <maximlevitsky@...il.com>

To make userland, e.g. NetworkManager work with firewire, we need to
detect whether cable is plugged or not.  Simple and correct way of doing
that is just counting number of peers.  No peers - no link and vice
versa.

(Stefan R.:  Drop ethtool_ops.get_link)

Update 2:  Removed ethtool related hunks; dev->peer_count does not need
to be accessed within the spinlock as I first thought; reduced pointer
reference depth in fwnet_remove_peer.

Maxim, do you observe a remaining need for a get_link implementation?
I can't tell, I use rather minimal userland that doesn't care for link
status.
