Florian I am seriesly irritated, are you even build testing these
changes?

bcmgenet_dma_teardown() is a static function declared far after the
new call you are adding in patch #2, so now we get:

drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/genet/bcmgenet.c: In function ‘bcmgenet_fini_dma’:
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/genet/bcmgenet.c:1752:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘bcmgenet_dma_teardown’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/genet/bcmgenet.c: At top level:
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/genet/bcmgenet.c:2111:12: error: static declaration of ‘bcmgenet_dma_teardown’ follows non-static declaration
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/genet/bcmgenet.c:1752:2: note: previous implicit declaration of ‘bcmgenet_dma_teardown’ was here

I want to make it clear to you that whatever time you think you're
saving by skipping even the most basic compilation test, goes directly
to _ME_ and you are therefore having a negative impact on every single
developer who is also waiting for me to review and integrate their
networking changes.

Please do not do this any more.

Thanks.
