> The fjes driver is used only by FUJITSU servers and almost of all servers
> in the world never use it. But currently if ACPI PNP0C02 is defined in the
> ACPI table, the following message is always shown:
> 
>  "FUJITSU Extended Socket Network Device Driver - version 1.2
>   - Copyright (c) 2015 FUJITSU LIMITED"
> 
> The message makes users confused because there is no reason that the message
> is shown in other vendor servers.
> 
> To avoid the confusion, the patch adds several checks.
> 
> v3:
>   - Rebase on latest net tree.
>   - Add _STA method check to avoid loading fjes driver.
> 
> v2:
>   - Order local variable declarations from longest to shortest line

> Yasuaki Ishimatsu(2):
>   fjes: Do not load fjes driver if system does not have extended socket
> device.
>   fjes: Do not load fjes driver if extended socket device is not power on.
