Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] r8169: replace several function pointers with
 direct calls

This series removes most function pointers from struct rtl8169_private
and uses direct calls instead. This simplifies the code and avoids
the penalty of indirect calls in times of retpoline.

Heiner Kallweit (3):
  r8169: remove struct mdio_ops
  r8169: remove struct jumbo_ops
  r8169: avoid tso csum function indirection
