Subject: [net-next 0/5][pull request] Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-03-20

This series contains updates to ixgb, e1000e, igb and igbvf.

Eliezer and Todd provide patches to fix a potential issue found during code
inspection.  When bringing down an interface netif_carrier_off() should
be one of the first things we do, since this will prevent the stack from
queueing more packets to this interface.

Yanir provides a fix for e1000e that was found in validating i219,
where the call to e1000e_write_protect_nvm_ich8lan() is no longer
supported in newer hardware.  Access to these registers causes a
system freeze in early steppings and is ignored in later steppings.

The following are changes since commit f6877fcf229b4e3d396cbd5199e040b4ea1362eb:
  Merge branch 'ebpf-next'
and are available in the git repository at:

master

Eliezer Tamir (2):
  ixgb: call netif_carrier_off early on down
  e1000e: call netif_carrier_off early on down

Todd Fujinaka (2):
  igb: use netif_carrier_off earlier when bringing if down
  igbvf: use netif_carrier_off earlier when bringing if down

Yanir Lubetkin (1):
  e1000e: NVM write protect access removed from SPT HW
